About this listen

The Hunger of the Gods continues John Gwynne's acclaimed Norse-inspired epic fantasy series, packed with myth, magic and bloody vengeance

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 fulfil 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 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.

Incredible

This, as well as the previous book, has to be one of the best stories I have ever heard! and the story is narrated so well! I really do not think another narrator could have done it any better at all.

a big improvement from book 1

book 1 was good but not great, I felt like it was missing in depth character development and even thought the plot was interesting I did not feel entangled in it. book 2 fixed it all, this was a great continuation of the story and I can not wait for book 3. well worth the money.

Absolute brilliant

Book 1 was great but book 2 was brilliant.. this book is not a boring read with detailed battle scenes and characters and their stories that relate to each other. I was utterly engrossed and look forward to continuing stories of the blood sworn and the battle-grim

Hunger of the Gods makes you hungry for more!!!!

This roller coaster ride is one you don’t want to end!!! An epic tale of warriors and how love of kin and friends will give them the strength to push on!! A great tale of motherly sacrifice as well.
