The Shadow of the Gods

13 minJohn Gwynne

What's it about

Ready to dive into a brutal world where gods are dead and their monstrous children roam the land? Discover a Norse-inspired epic where three seemingly separate lives—a former slave, a noblewoman, and a ruthless mercenary—are set on a collision course that will shape the fate of a fractured world. You'll follow these warriors as they hunt for power, vengeance, and survival. Uncover the secrets of ancient magic, battle terrifying beasts, and navigate treacherous political landscapes. This is your chance to experience a relentless saga of blood, ambition, and the terrifying shadows of fallen gods.

Meet the author

John Gwynne is an award-winning fantasy author whose debut novel, Malice, won the prestigious David Gemmell Morningstar Award for Best Debut. A lifelong passion for ancient history, Norse mythology, and Viking-era sagas directly inspired the richly detailed world of The Shadow of the Gods. This deep historical interest, combined with his experience as a reenactor and lecturer, allows Gwynne to craft epic tales that feel both authentic and brutally real, bringing the age of heroes and monsters to visceral life.
