The Hunger of the Gods by John Gwynne

LOOK OUT FOR THE DELUXE LIMITED HARDCOVER EDITIONS OF THE BLOODSWORN SAGA ― featuring stenciled sprayed edges, a new introduction from the author, a foil stamped case, and custom endpapers. Only available on a limited first print run while supplies last.



The second novel of John Gwynne's New York Times bestselling Bloodsworn Saga, this story set in a Norse-inspired world is packed with myth, magic, and vengeance.​



"Visceral, heartbreaking, and unputdownable." --Jay Kristoff on The Shadow of the Gods



THE DEAD GODS ARE RISING.




Lik-Rifa, the dragon god of legend, has been freed from her eternal prison. Now she plots a new age of blood and conquest.   

   

As Orka continues the hunt for her missing son, the Bloodsworn sweep south in a desperate race to save one of their own-and Varg takes the first steps on the path of vengeance.   

   

Elvar has sworn to fulfill her blood oath and rescue a prisoner from the clutches of Lik-Rifa and her dragonborn followers, but first she must persuade the Battle-Grim to follow her. 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.
