'A Time of Dread reminds me of why I became a fantasy enthusiast in the first place' – Robin Hobb, author of Assassin's Apprentice.
Set in the same world as the Faithful and the Fallen quartet, the first novel in John Gwynne's Of Blood and Bone series, A Time of Dread, takes place one hundred years after the end of Wrath.
The Ben-Elim, a race of warrior angels, once vanquished a mighty demon horde. Now they rule the Banished lands. But their dominion is brutally enforced and their ancient enemy may not be as crushed as they thought.
In the snowbound north, Drem, a trapper, finds mutilated corpses in the forests – a sign of demonic black magic. In the south, Riv, a young, tempestuous soldier, discovers a deadly rift within the Ben-Elim themselves.
Two individuals with two world-changing secrets. But where will they lead? And what role will Drem and Riv play in the Banished Land's fate? Difficult choices need to be made. Because in the shadows, demons are gathering, waiting for their time to rise. . .
Continue the heroic fantasy series with A Time of Blood.
'A truly excellent read . . . Exciting, well-written swords and sorcery. Try it on for size' – Mark Lawrence, author of The Broken Empire.
'John Gwynne is one of the modern masters of heroic fantasy' – Adrian Tchaikovsky, author of Children of Ruin.

Rigtig god og velskrevet bog. Der er mange karakterer og detaljer og man skal holde tungen lige i munden. Det er tydeligt at historien kun er lige begyndt, og jeg vil straks kaste mig over den næste bog i serien!

De første 8 minutter er opremsning af ca 100 navne og stednavne - end ikke den mest indædte slægtsforsker kan følge med hee tror jeg - utrolig dårlig.

Very confusing, very really got ab attachment to the main characters. Maybe one needs to read the ‘leading’ trilogy to better have a connection

Meget langsomt at komme i gang men så når den endelig kommer i gang bliver det virkelig spændende. Spændt på at høre den næste bog.
