"Visceral, heartbreaking, and unputdownable." – Jay Kristoff on The Shadow of the Gods

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 fulfill 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.  

The final book in the trilogy, The Fury of the Gods, is available now!

LOOK OUT FOR THE DELUXE LIMITED HARDCOVER EDITION OF THE HUNGER OF THE GODS―featuring stenciled sprayed edges, a new introduction from the author, a foil stamped case, and custom endpapers. Only available on a limited first print run while supplies last.
