Fire and blood spill over the Norse kingdom of Vigrið. The dragon goddess Lik-Rifa has managed to attract allies from the most unlikely ranks. And in her hands is now also the woman, who could really become dangerous to the evil goddess. Now the mortal forces have but one choice: to form a final alliance. Bloodsworn and Berserkers, Vaesen and Gods, Thralls and Jarls - they all must stand together to crush the new world order of the evil dragon goddess Lik-Rifa.

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 only 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.
