THE GREATEST SAGAS ARE WRITTEN IN BLOOD.

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.

About the Author

John Gwynne studied and lectured at Brighton University. He has played double bass in a rock 'n' roll band, packed soap in a soap factory, and dug ditches for a landscaping crew. He is married with four children, eight goats, five sheep, three dogs, two horses, and three ducks, and lives in East Sussex, where he is part of a Viking reenactment group. When not writing or running around after his wife and her crazy animals, he can be found standing in a shield wall with his three sons about him.
