Reseña del libro "Game of Gods and Blood (en Inglés)"
The gods walk amongst mortals. Blood will flood the land as armies clash. But who succeeds in this game? Under Hela's control, Maude has disappeared into Ahland's shadowed corners. She is being dragged through every inch of the Lamenting Woods, a prisoner in her own mind, doomed only to observe as the goddess wields her body and her power like a weapon. Witness to the atrocities unfolding in the Kingdom of Rivers, she has no choice but to rebel in the only way she can: leading her friends to where Flame Soldiers need to be stopped. Herrick leapt over the railing of the longship and into the unknown with little more than his axe on his back and the thread binding him to Maude, showing him the path back to her side. Traveling through the woods he grew up in as a fugitive with the most unlikely companion, they struggle to find more than a glimpse of their loved one. He knows he can find Maude and free her from the goddess's grasp, the secret he has held onto since Hilgafell will guarantee that, but what will be left of her when Hela is banished? Baldr toes the line between rebellion and maintaining his position of power within the crooked regime that has taken over Ahland. If he can stay under Vilde's radar, he can keep feeding information to the Kolbecks hiding out in Ljosa. But when a new, power-hungry sergeant raises suspicions about Baldr's allegiance to his soldiers, he is left with little choice other than to take his mask of cruelty and make it real, even if his moral compass is now being influenced by the neat scribblings found around the room he inhabits in Veter. Is cruelty and duplicity the only way to his end goal of freeing Ahland, or will this new guide change his heart- and his fate- for good? In the south, their friends rebuild the empty city of Ljosa into a haven for those left destitute from Vilde and Helvig's seizure of Ahland. But where new pillars of leadership rise, self-doubt follows in its shadow as fate moves each of them down different paths. Two races separated by centuries of hiding come together to form a new army, but where their numbers are stronger than ever, the enemy continues to grow. Citizens are dragged from their homes and forced to join Helvig's ranks under the threat of their families being slaughtered if they refuse. With nowhere else to turn, where will our rebels find the numbers they so desperately need? With Vilde and Helvig's army closing in around them, the insurgents of Ahland are forced to make tough choices in the name of freeing their people from both gods and men who play with lives like pieces on a gameboard. Sacrifices will be made on the altar of the greater good, but choices in the face of one's fate are what mold us. In this next installment in the Heirs of Fate series, become witness to Maude and her friends as their clash with evil reveals that choosing one's fate can sometimes be an act of rebellion in and of itself.
