Wo sich die Verfemten Lande erstrecken, färbte Blut die Welt einst rot. Wo heute uralte Ruinen stehen, bezwangen Menschen Giganten. Wo einzig das Heulen der Woelven erklingt, brannte vor tausenden Jahren die Welt. Doch zu lange haben sich die Menschen in Sicherheit gewähnt. Nun weinen die Gigantensteine Blut, und in den Verfemten Landen regt sich erneut, was für immer verbannt sein sollte. Ein uralter Feind hat längst eine Allianz geschmiedet und wartet darauf, dass seine Stunde kommt. Und nur einer vermag es, ihn aufzuhalten, wenn die Schwarze Sonne die Welt betritt

Sie dachten, der Krieg sei vorüber. Doch nun wissen sie, dass sich der wahre Feind erst gegen sie erhebt... Die Welt der Menschen steht auf Messers Schneide: Drem und seine Freunde wurden Zeugen, wie sich einfache Menschen in reißende Bestien verwandelten und sich ein Dämon von den Toten erhob. Dessen Hohepriesterin Fritha ist den Gefährten nun auf den Fersen. Doch nicht nur von ihr droht Gefahr: Riv hütet ein Geheimnis, das die hochmütigen Ben-Elim stürzen könnte. Werden die jungen Helden ihr Land retten angesichts der sich erhebenden Dunkelheit?

In einer Welt erbaut auf Blut und Knochen kann es keinen Frieden geben... Die Verfemten Lande haben den Krieg überstanden, doch die Herrschaft der siegreichen Ben-Elim wird bedroht. Die Anzeichen häufen sich, dass ihre Erzfeinde, brutale Dämonenwesen, zurückkommen. Im verschneiten Norden findet der Pelzjäger Drem zerfetzte Leichen im Wald - scheinbar Opfer schwarzer Magie. Im Süden gerät Riv, ein ungestümer junger Soldat, in einen Konflikt mit den Ben-Elim. Drem und Riv hüten Geheimnisse, die das Schicksal der Verfemten Lande verändern könnten.

Drem and his friends are haunted by the horrors they witnessed at the battle at Starstone Lake: the screams of men being warped into beasts and the sight of a demon rising from the dead. But worse than any memory is Fritha, the demons' deadly high priestess. And she is hunting them. Concealed in Forn Forest, Riv knows her very existence as a half-breed is a threat to the Ben-Elim. She represents their most dangerous secret - and if the warrior angels find her, they won't hesitate to silence her.

Events are coming to a climax in the Banished Lands, as the war reaches new heights. King Nathair has taken control of the fortress at Drassil and three of the Seven Treasures are in his possession. And together with Calidus and his ally Queen Rhin, Nathair will do anything to obtain the remaining Treasures. With all seven under his command, he can open a portal to the Otherworld. Then Asroth and his demon-horde will finally break into the Banished Lands and become flesh.

The cunning Queen Rhin has conquered the west and High King Nathair has the cauldron, most powerful of the seven treasures. At his back stands the scheming Calidus and a warband of the Kadoshim, dread demons of the Otherworld. They plan to bring Asroth and his host of the Fallen into the world of flesh, but to do so they need the seven treasures. Nathair has been deceived but now he knows the truth. He has choices to make, choices that will determine the fate of the Banished Lands.

The Demon-King of the Otherworld is finally free. Asroth prepares to lead his demonic war-host south. With the help of his dark bride Fritha, he plans to crush the warrior-angels and their allies. In the shadows of Forn Forest, Riv and the surviving Ben-Elim hold a war council. After the catastrophic events at Drassil, they are desperate to unite those who would stand against Asroth and his army. So they fly west, to join the Order of the Bright Star. But Drem and the Order are besieged by a demon horde – and their fragile defence may soon shatter.

The demon king Asroth has been freed from his iron prison. Now, alongside his dark bride, Fritha, he plans to conquer the whole of the Banished Lands. In the shadows of Forn Forest, Riv and the surviving Ben-Elim desperately search for a way to unite those who remain against Asroth's vast army. Far in the west, Drem is with the Order of the Bright Star, besieged by a demon horde. Their fragile defenses are on the brink of shattering, but they know that it is better to fight and die than to live without hope.

Après la chute de Dun Carreg, Corban, sa mère Gwenith, leurs amis et la princesse Edana sont en fuite. Les fuyards se rendent vers l'est, mais il n'y a plus de refuge alors que les troupes de la reine Rhin sont partout... Nathair, champion du dieu Elyon dans la conflagration à venir, toujours accompagné de Veradis, son guerrier fidèle, se mêle à la guerre de conquête que mène Rhin. Mais ses idéaux le conduiront sur un chemin douloureux... Maquin cherche à venger le jeune Kastell, qu'il était censé protéger, mais sa quête l'amènera à croiser la route des terribles.

Segunda parte de la trilogía de fantasía vikinga. El hambre de los dioses es la continuación de la aclamada saga de fantasía épica de John Gwynne inspirada en la civilización nórdica, repleta de mitos, magia y venganzas sangrientas. Lik-Rifa, la legendaria diosa dragona, ha salido de su cautiverio eterno. Ahora urde una nueva era de sangre y conquistas. Mientras Orka continúa la búsqueda de su hijo desaparecido, los Hermanos de Sangre emprenden una desesperada carrera hacia el sur para salvar a uno de los suyos y Varg da sus primeros pasos en la senda de la venganza.

Elvar is struggling to consolidate her power in Snakavik, where she faces threats from without and within. As she fights to assert her authority in readiness for the coming conflict, she faces a surely insurmountable task: reigning in the ferocity of a wolf god. As Biorr and his warband make their way north, eager for blood, Gudvarr pursues a mission of his own, hoping to win Lik-Rifa’s favour and further his own ambitions.

Drem e i suoi amici, ancora perseguitati dal ricordo degli orrori di cui sono stati testimoni durante la battaglia del lago Pietrastella, dalle urla di uomini trasformati in bestie alla vista di un demone che risorgeva dalla morte, sono in fuga per avvertire l’ordine dell’Astro splendente. Fritha, la spietata somma sacerdotessa dei demoni è però più letale di qualsiasi ricordo, e sta dando loro la caccia. Nascosta nella Foresta di Forn, Riv sa che in quanto mezzosangue la sua stessa esistenza costituisce una minaccia per i Ben-Elim.

Primera novela de esta trilogía de fantasía épica con inspiración vikinga. Ha pasado un siglo desde que los dioses lucharon y se extinguieron. Ahora solo quedan sus huesos, que prometen un gran poder a aquellos lo suficientemente valientes como para buscarlos. Mientras los susurros de guerra resuenan en la tierra de Vigrið, el destino sigue los pasos de tres guerreros: una cazadora en una búsqueda peligrosa, una mujer noble que busca la fama en la batalla y un esclavo que busca venganza entre los mercenarios conocidos como los Hermanos de Sangre.

Il y a bien longtemps que les humains sont arrivés sur les Terres Bannies, qu'ils ont disputées victorieusement aux clans de géants qui les peuplaient. Des terres que l'affrontement entre les dieux antagonistes Asroth et Elyon a bien failli détruire. Aussi, quand cette guerre larvée menace d'éclater à nouveau, bien des destins vont se trouver bouleversés. À commencer par celui du jeune Corban, qui aspire à manier l'épée et la lance pour protéger son royaume et va devoir mettre son courage à l'épreuve bien plus vite que prévu.

Il signore dell'Oltremondo è finalmente libero. Armato di nuove potenti armi di Pietrastella, Asroth si prepara a guidare il suo esercito demoniaco a sud. Con l'aiuto della sua oscura sposa Fritha, progetta di annientare gli angeli guerrieri e i loro alleati. All'ombra della Foresta di Forn, Riv e i Ben-Elim sopravvissuti tengono un consiglio di guerra. Dopo gli eventi catastrofici di Drassil, cercano disperatamente di unire coloro che si schiererebbero contro Asroth e il suo esercito.

Corban flees his homeland searching for peace, but he soon discovers that there is no haven in the west as the agents of Rhin and roaming bands of giants hound his every step. Veradis leaves the battleground and rushes to his King's side. But he has witnessed both combat and betrayal and his duty weighs heavily upon him. Maquin seeks only revenge, but pirate slavers and the brutal world of pit-fighting stand in his way. Nathair becomes embroiled in the wars of the west as Queen Rhin marches against King Owain. The need to find the cauldron of the giants drives him on.

Le saghe più grandi sono scritte con il sangue. Dopo che gli dèi combatterono fino a estinguersi, il cataclisma che produsse la loro caduta distrusse la terra di Vigrið. Ora sta sorgendo un nuovo mondo, in cui gli jarl assetati di potere si scontrano tra loro e i mostri si aggirano per i boschi e le montagne. Un mondo in cui le ossa degli dèi morti detengono ancora un grande potere per coloro che sono abbastanza coraggiosi - o disperati - da cercarle.
