The Fury of the Gods

The Bloodsworn Trilogy, Book 3

By: John Gwynne

Narrated by: Colin Mace

The Fury of the Gods is the earth-shattering final book in John Gwynne's bestselling Norse-inspired epic fantasy series, packed with myth, magic and bloody vengeance.

The final battle for the fate of Vigrid approaches...

Varg has overcome the trials of his past and become an accepted member of the Bloodsworn, but now he and his newfound comrades face their biggest challenge yet: slaying a dragon.

Elvar is struggling to consolidate her power in Snakavik, where she faces threats from without and within. As she fights to assert her authority in readiness for the coming conflict, she faces a surely insurmountable task: reigning in the ferocity of a wolf god.

As Biórr and his warband make their way north, eager for blood, Guðvarr pursues a mission of his own, hoping to win Lik-Rifa’s favor and further his own ambitions.

All paths lead to Snakavik, where the lines are being drawn for the final battle—a titanic clash that will shake the foundations of the world and bear witness to the true fury of the gods.

Amazing Northern Mythology Read

Loved the tale/saga from the start to the finish I found myself cheering for the bloodsworn! Heya!

What a Conslusion

what an absolute ride. There is practically zero slack. It picks up from book 2 as if It was trying to get the speed record. Usually the saying goes, the journey is more important than the destination, but in this case the destination is so worth it that it stands to stare it eye to eye. Truly a fantastic finale.
