Synopsis

Varg began as a thrall and now counts as a full member of the Bloodsworn, a mercenary warband in the land of Vigrid. His companions and he are handed the hardest job yet: killing a dragon.

In the city of Snakavik, Elvar fights to keep hold of her power. Enemies press on her from beyond the walls and from inside them, and she is also trying to bring a wolf god under control. Elsewhere, Biorr marches his warband north looking for a fight, while Gudvarr schemes for advancement by courting the favour of the dragon god Lik-Rifa.

All these threads converge on Snakavik, where the sides take their positions for a last battle that will settle the fate of the world.

This is the third and final book of the Bloodsworn Saga, a Norse-inspired epic fantasy. It begins right where the cliffhanger of The Hunger of the Gods stops, so it is best read after The Shadow of the Gods and that second volume.

The pace is the fastest of the trilogy, with bloody, close-quarters fighting between warbands and gods. Between the battles, the story keeps its attention on leadership, family and vengeance.
