Here are Gwynne’s thoughts regarding the cover art: I feel that Orbit has done a terrific job Gwynne’s books deserve a cover as epic and jaw-dropping as this, and I’m glad he’s getting one.

I’m honestly speechless by how good this cover art is. Look at the size of that dragon! Look how small the warrior is in comparison! That is like me challenging my TBR pile! Seriously, this is one of the greatest cover arts I’ve ever seen.
Now, as whispers of war echo across the mountains and fjords, fate follows in the footsteps of three people: a huntress on a dangerous quest, a noblewoman who has rejected privilege in pursuit of battle fame, and a thrall who seeks vengeance among the famed mercenaries known as the Bloodsworn.Īll three will shape the fate of the world as it once more falls under the shadow of the gods. A world where the bones of the dead gods still hold great power for those brave – or desperate – enough to seek them out. Now a new world is rising, where power-hungry jarls feud and monsters stalk the woods and mountains. Set in a brand-new, Norse-inspired world, and packed with myth, magic and bloody vengeance, The Shadow of the Gods begins an epic new fantasy saga from bestselling author John Gwynne.Īfter the gods warred and drove themselves to extinction, the cataclysm of their fall shattered the land of Vigrið. How MAGNIFICENT is that!? But that’s not all let’s raise the epicness scale. Without further ado, here’s the epic cover of The Shadow of the Gods! If you love epic fantasy with fantastic characterizations and phenomenal battle scenes, make sure to do yourself a favor and read ALL of Gwynne’s books. Today, I’m beyond honored and gratified to be given the extraordinary opportunity of doing an exclusive cover reveal for The Shadow of the Gods, the first book in The Bloodsworn Saga series-Gwynne’s first series outside of The Banished Lands. The Banished Lands Saga ( The Faithful and the Fallen quartet and Of Blood and Bone trilogy) by John Gwynne is one of my top three favorite completed series of all time probably at the number one spot, actually. But for those of you who don’t know, John Gwynne is one of my top favorite authors, and I will ALWAYS recommend his books to every epic fantasy reader.
