Let it be known that Gwynne is in fact the only author on my list to earn the perfect streak of top quality achievements from me. John Gwynne has proven himself once again to be the constant harbinger of superlative epic fantasy that only the greatest of authors can achieve. Simply amazing and almost impossible to put down, A Time of Dread is truly a masterful start to a trilogy which I envision will be crowned as one of the best series I’ve ever read by its end. ARC provided by the publisher-Pan Macmillan-in exchange for an honest review.Ī Time of Dread is a work conceived in the mind of a genius. 'Reminds me of why I became a fantasy enthusiast in the first place' - Robin Hobb on A Time of Dread 'This book is so damned good. But will it be enough, as their darkest hour draws near? Start the heroic fantasy series with A Time of Dread. Drem, Riv and the Bright Star's warriors will need to call on all their courage as they face the final battle.

Across the Banished Lands, armies are gathering to settle ancient grudges and decide the fate of humanity.

But Drem and the Order are already under siege by a demon horde and their fragile defences may soon shatter. They decide to fly west, to join the Order of the Bright Star. In the shadows of Forn Forest, Riv and the surviving Ben-Elim hold a war council - desperate to unite those who would stand against Asroth and his army. And with the help of his bride, Fritha, he plans to crush the warrior-angels and their allies for good. Armed with fearsome new starstone weapons, Asroth prepares to lead his demonic war-host south. Battle the dark Reclaim the world The King of the Otherworld is finally free. This is the epic conclusion to John Gwynne's mighty fantasy trilogy, Of Blood and Bone.

In A Time of Courage, angels, demons and heroes face the ultimate fight for the Banished Lands. In the shadows of Forn Forest, Riv and the surviving Ben-Elim.
