About This Audiobook
Ancient gods stir from their slumber as war engulfs the Norse-inspired realm of Vigrið in this thunderous sequel. The dragon goddess Lik-Rifa has awakened after centuries of imprisonment, gathering monstrous allies to her banner while mortals desperately seek to resurrect their own divine champions in response. Warriors, thralls, and oath-sworn fighters find themselves caught between clashing deities whose hunger for vengeance threatens to consume everything. As supernatural forces reshape the very fabric of reality, the Bloodsworn must navigate treacherous alliances and impossible choices in a world where gods walk among mortals once more.
Colin Mace delivers a commanding performance that brings visceral intensity to Gwynne's brutal fantasy landscape. His rich, gravelly voice captures both the intimate struggles of individual characters and the epic scope of divine warfare, shifting seamlessly between tender moments and bone-crushing battle sequences. Mace's skillful pacing allows listeners to savor the intricate political maneuvering while maintaining breathless momentum during the story's numerous action-packed climaxes. The audio format perfectly suits this tale of gods and monsters, transforming roaring dragons and clashing armies into an immersive sensory experience.
