The second book in the bloody brilliant saga by John Gwynne! The story is filled with magic, vengeance, and lore. The story picks up where the first book left off and now the Dragon-God Lik-Rifa is freed from her prison and is set about plotting for a new age of conquest. Our three main characters from the first book are now: Orka is still looking for her son and Varg is on the path towards revenge and Elvar has sworn her blood oath and must persuade the Battle-Grim to help her in her quest against the dragon god. Though the first book only had the three POVS this one has a few additional POV characters to add to the mix. This one has amped up the blood and action and definitely continues with the epic story that Gwynne has created! Definitely check it out if you love Norse-inspired stories.
