THE HUNGER OF THE GODS

The Bloodsworn Saga: Book 2 by John Gwynne

The Acclaimed Norse-Inspired Epic Fantasy — Myth, Magic & Bloody Vengeance

A dragon god walks free. A reckoning is coming.
And only the bloodsworn stand between the world and ruin.

THE STORY THAT WILL CONSUME YOU

Lik-Rifa, the dragon god of legend, has been freed from her eternal prison. Now she plots a new age of blood and conquest — and the world is not ready.

Three threads. Three desperate paths. One cataclysmic collision.

Orka continues her relentless hunt for her missing son, driven by a grief that has become something far more dangerous.

The Bloodsworn sweep south in a desperate race to save one of their own — while Varg takes his first steps on the path of vengeance.

Elvar has sworn a blood oath to rescue a prisoner from the clutches of Lik-Rifa and her dragonborn followers. But first she must convince the Battle-Grim to follow her into the fire.

Yet even the might of the Bloodsworn and Battle-Grim cannot stand alone against a dragon god.

Their only hope lies within the mad writings of a chained god — a book of forbidden magic with the power to raise the wolf god Ulfrir from the dead. And bring about a battle that will shake the foundations of the earth.

The gods are hungry.
The world will bleed.
And the Bloodsworn will not kneel.
