About this listen

The highly anticipated sequel in the acclaimed Runestone Saga from New York Times bestselling author Cinda Williams Chimawith more adventure, mystery, and plot twists than ever before!

Reunited in New Jotunheim, Reginn, Eiric and Liv discover that they are game pieces being played on a hidden board. Eiric’s slaughter of the old council has opened Tyra's path to power—she now has the perfect excuse to launch a war against the Archipelago. Tyra is also using her dottir, Liv, as a vehicle to raise a dangerous goddess. And Reginn is tasked with crossing the boundary between the living and the dead to gain access to powerful magical secrets.

With Reginn’s help, Eiric escapes prison and returns home to find his brodir and warn the Archipelago of the impending attack. Meanwhile, she remains at the Grove to try to prevent the outbreak of war. Soon, though, Reginn learns her true role in this game: use her power to raise the dead to ensure victory for New Jotunheim. The demon Asger Eldr tells her that she alone can prevent another Ragnarok. But how?

Back in the Archipelago, Eiric agrees to join the king’s forces, though that means taking up arms against his systir, Liv, and Reginn, the spinner who has ensnared his heart. For perhaps the first time in his life, he dreads the coming fight.

As the two sides prepare for an apocalyptic battle, Eiric, Reginn, and Liv find allies and enemies in unexpected places and draw on new strengths as they seek to prevent the destruction of the last of the Nine Worlds.

Norse mythology with a pinch of LOTR

It's been a long wait, almost 2 years, but well worth it 😊

I've really enjoyed it, I’ve devoured it 😋 just like the first book. Beautifully written, action packed, a lot of heartwarming and heartbreaking moments, and great characters.

I loved Eiric and Reginn, and their no-nonsense relationship💕 I mean, the relationship between main characters in 95% of YA/New Adult fantasy books is so aggravating, full of ‘misunderstandings’ and unjustified angst, it is just unbearable.

It could have done with a few more chapters, as there was a lot going on in the end but we’ve kind of just got a summarised version of it, with nowhere near enough details. It felt a bit anti-climactic, and I was left with quite a few questions. For example , if time flows differently in New Jotunheim, than in the Archipelago, how will they be able to visit each other without being impacted? Maybe we’ll get a novella , one can hope 😁

Even with the few loose ends, this is the type of book everyone should be talking about and I hope, I hope this duology will eventually get the recognition it deserves! I cannot recommend it enough❤️
