A masterfully crafted, brutally compelling Norse-inspired epic unfolds in a world where a century has passed since the gods' extinction, leaving only their bones behind, which promise great power to the brave. As whispers of war resonate across Vigrið, three warriors embark on intertwined paths: a huntress on a perilous quest, a noblewoman seeking battle fame, and a thrall bent on vengeance among the mercenaries known as the Bloodsworn. Their actions will shape the fate of a world once again overshadowed by divine remnants. This new saga is rich with myth, magic, and bloody vengeance, marking the beginning of an epic fantasy journey from bestselling author John Gwynne. Praise for this work highlights its visceral storytelling, heart-wrenching moments, and unputdownable nature. Readers will find a satisfying narrative filled with well-realized characters set against a backdrop of immense world-building. It is described as a masterclass in storytelling, combining gritty fantasy with deep emotional resonance, and is recognized as quintessential Gwynne—an exhilarating opener to a Viking-flavored fantasy series that promises action-packed, cinematic experiences.
'Utterly enthralling' Trudi Canavan In the ancient city-state of Gujaareh, peace is the only law. Upon its rooftops and amongst the shadows of its cobbled streets wait the Gatherers - the keepers of this peace. Priests of the dream-goddess, their duty is to harvest the magic of the sleeping mind and use it to heal, soothe . . . and kill those judged corrupt. But when a conspiracy blooms within Gujaareh's great temple, Ehiru - the most famous of the city's Gatherers - must question everything he knows. Someone, or something, is murdering innocent dreamers in the goddess' name, stalking its prey both in Gujaareh's alleys and the realm of dreams. Ehiru must now protect the woman he was sent to kill - or watch the city be devoured by war and forbidden magic.
