Débarrassé de ses chaînes, l’ancien esclave Varg est devenu un membre à part entière de la Confrérie du Sang. Alors qu’il brûle toujours du désir de venger l’assassinat de sa sœur, lui et ses frères d’armes se préparent à affronter le plus dangereux des ennemis : une déesse-dragonne démente et assoiffée de vengeance... Devenue jarl de Snakavik, Elvar doit lutter pour consolider son pouvoir et faire face à des menaces aussi bien extérieures qu’intérieures. Alors qu’elle s’efforce d’asseoir son autorité en prévision du conflit majeur à venir, elle se trouve confrontée à une tâche qui paraît insurmontable : dompter la férocité d’un dieu-loup. Tandis que Biórr et la compagnie mercenaire assoiffée de sang d’Ilska continuent leur voyage vers le nord, Guðvarr poursuit sa propre voie, espérant gagner les faveurs de Lik-Rifa, et surtout rester en vie ! Tous les chemins semblent mener à Snakavik pour la bataille finale qui changera à jamais le destin de Vígríd : un affrontement titanesque qui ébranlera les fondations du monde et témoignera de la véritable fureur des dieux.
Author
I am the author of epic fantasy series The Faithful and the Fallen, Of Blood and Bone and The Bloodsworn Saga. I'm also a Viking re-enactor and enjoy nothing more than standing in the shield wall with my three sons, who are as passionate about swords and axes as I am (when I'm not stuck in my coat of mail; it's harder than it looks). I live on the south coast of the UK with my beautiful wife, three sons and my daughter, and an assortment of animals (at the moment three dogs, a horse and a lamb who thinks she's a dog). My dogs think I am their slave. Malice, my debut novel, was published by Pan Macmillan in 2012 and went on to win the David Gemmell Morningstar Award for Best Fantasy Debut of 2012. That was a truly wonderful moment, as David Gemmell is a hero of mine and one of the reasons I write. The following three books in the series - Valour, Ruin and Wrath, were all shortlisted for the David Gemmell Legend Award for Best Fantasy Novels of 2014, 2015 and 2016, with Wrath winning the 2017 BookNest Awards for Best Traditionally Published Novel. My second series, of Blood and Bone, is set in the Banished Lands, the same world as the first series. Book 1, A Time of Dread, begins 130 years after the events of the first series. A Time of Courage, book 3 Of Blood and Bone, made the Spiegel Bestseller's List in Germany. My latest book, The Shadow of the Gods, book 1 of the Bloodsworn Saga, will be published in May 2021. It is inspired by Norse mythology, Beowulf and Ragnarök. I am represented by Julie Crisp.
