John Gwynne - Az istenek árnyéka

"I'm preparing for my own revenge. I don't have time for yours."

After the gods went to war and destroyed each other, they left nothing behind but wounds on the flesh of the world and their bones, which promise immeasurable power to the brave who seek them out.

Now, however, a new world is being born: terrible monsters roam the wilderness, power-hungry jarls take up arms against each other, the sound of battle echoes between the fjords and mountains. Fate follows the trail of three mortals: the mother, who lives with her family on their farm, is overtaken by her past, believed to have been buried, and her world catches fire anew. The young mercenary will sacrifice everything for the glory of the battlefield, but even this may not be enough to avoid the wrath of the gods. And the runaway slave hopes to fulfill his revenge in the ranks of the infamous warrior brotherhood, also known as the Blood Sworn, but first he must endure an impossible test.

The decisions of the three shape the fate of this world, which is once again shrouded in darkness by the shadow of the gods...

The latest fantasy novel by multiple award-winner John Gwynne, inspired by Viking mythology and culture, transports its readers to a world full of magic and battle, where the heroes are ambushed at every step and sagas are written in blood.
