About this ebook
Set Norse-inspired world, and packed with myth, magic, and vengeance, The Shadow of the Gods begins an epic fantasy saga from bestselling author John Gwynne.
A century has passed since the gods fought and drove themselves to extinction. Now only their bones remain, promising great power to those brave enough to seek them out.
As whispers of war echo across the land of Vigrid, fate follows in the footsteps of three warriors: a huntress on a dangerous quest, a noblewoman pursuing battle fame, and a thrall seeking vengeance among the mercenaries known as the Bloodsworn.
All three will shape the fate of the world as it once more falls under the shadow of the gods.
"A masterfully crafted, brutally compelling Norse-inspired epic." —Anthony Ryan The Greatest Sagas Are Written in Blood

The Shadow of the Gods is a great fantasy book that is full of action, intrigue, and complex characters. The worldbuilding is rich and detailed, and the story is full of twists and turns. I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys fantasy or adventure stories.

Probably more of a 4.5/5. I have long been a fan of Viking fiction, and enjoy multiple POVs. Can't wait to read the next book
