Acerca de esta escucha

From acclaimed fantasy author John Gwynne comes the first in the Bloodsworn trilogy, an epic of wild lands and wilder magic, where not all monsters fight with tooth and claw...and the treasures of the gods come at a price.

This is the age of storm and murder.

After the old gods warred and drove themselves to extinction, the cataclysm of their fall shattered the land of Vigrio.

Now, power-hungry jarls carve out petty kingdoms, and monsters stalk the shadow-haunted woods and mountains. A world where the bones of the dead gods still hold great power, promising fame, and fortune for those brave - or desperate - enough to seek them out.

As whispers of war echo over the plains and across the fjords, fate follows the footsteps of three people: a huntress searching for her missing son, a jarl's daughter who has rejected privilege in pursuit of battle fame, and a thrall who has cast off his chains and now fights alongside the famed mercenaries known as the Bloodsworn.

All three will shape the fate of the world, as it once more teeters on the edge of chaos.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Gwynne, a Viking reenactor, puts in the work, with fine historical details that make the story come to life. Fans of the era will be delighted with the accuracy. This is a duly exciting start to the series." (Publishers Weekly)

Featured Article: The top 100 fantasy listens of all time


When compiling our list of the best fantasy listening out there, we immediately came up against the age-old question: Is this fantasy or science fiction? The distinction is not as clear as you may think. Dragons, elves, and wizards are definitely fantasy, but what about wizards that also fly space ships? (Looking at you, Star Wars.) For the sake of fantasy purity, the top 100 fantasy listens include the best audio works in all manner of fantasy subgenres.

Game of Thrones esque but more Norse-like and I personally enjoyed it more. Also reminds me of the First Law books by Joe Aberceombie.

Loved it

My first, but not last, Gwynne book. The world and characters made you feel like you were there in the shield wall with them.

One of my favorites

Went into this on a recommendation and wasn't disappointed. Love the Norse monsters and setting in general as a slight deviation from standard fantasy. A bit predictable at parts, but overall left me wanting to see where the story is going. 7.5/10 for me

Enjoyable

I love the Viking world aspect. Varg had a great character storyline as well. I want all the books now!

Orka is a beast

I’m tired of Vikings. I’m tired of them. Too often stories don’t bring enough to justify the tired tropes or the overused character archetypes. This story does not fall victim to these trends and stands on its own as a solid entry into a new world of fantasy. A solid addition to any fantasy reader’s shelf

A gem in an oversaturated aesthetic
