The Hunger of the Gods

Lik-Rifa, the dragon god of legend, has been freed from her eternal prison, and she plots a new age of blood and conquest. This ancient, fearsome creature yearns to reshape the world in her vision, thrusting the realm into turmoil and darkness.

As Orka continues her determined hunt for her missing son, the Bloodsworn sweep south in a desperate mission to rescue one of their own. Varg, driven by a fierce desire for justice, takes his first steps on the perilous path of vengeance, facing unimaginable dangers along the way. Their journeys are fraught with peril, and every step they take is shadowed by the threat of the dragon god.

Elvar, bound by her blood oath, is determined to rescue a prisoner from the clutches of Lik-Rifa and her ruthless dragonborn followers. To achieve this, she must first convince the formidable Battle-Grim to join her cause. Her quest is not just a test of her strength but also her resolve and cunning.

Despite their bravery and might, the combined forces of the Bloodsworn and Battle-Grim are still no match for a dragon god. Their only hope lies hidden within the mad writings of a chained god - a forbidden and ancient book of magic that holds the power to resurrect Ulfrir, the wolf god. This resurrection carries the promise of a cataclysmic battle that will shake the very foundations of the earth, heralding an epic struggle between gods and warriors.
