A Time of Courage, book 3 Of Blood and Bone, made the Spiegel Bestseller's List in Germany. Book 1, A Time of Dread, begins 130 years after the events of the first series. My second series, of Blood and Bone, is set in the Banished Lands, the same world as the first series. The following three books in the series - Valour, Ruin and Wrath, were all shortlisted for the David Gemmell Legend Award for Best Fantasy Novels of 2014, 20, with Wrath winning the 2017 BookNest Awards for Best Traditionally Published Novel.

That was a truly wonderful moment, as David Gemmell is a hero of mine and one of the reasons I write. Malice, my debut novel, was published by Pan Macmillan in 2012 and went on to win the David Gemmell Morningstar Award for Best Fantasy Debut of 2012. I live on the south coast of the UK with my beautiful wife, three sons and my daughter, and an assortment of animals (at the moment three dogs, a horse and a lamb who thinks she's a dog). I'm also a Viking re-enactor and enjoy nothing more than standing in the shield wall with my three sons, who are as passionate about swords and axes as I am (when I'm not stuck in my coat of mail it's harder than it looks). Truth, courage and loyalty will be tested as never before.I am the author of epic fantasy series The Faithful and the Fallen, Of Blood and Bone and The Bloodsworn Saga. His life hangs in the balance - and with it, the fate of the Banished Lands. But can he bond with competing factions of warlike giants? Somehow he must, if he's to counter the threat Nathair represents. His warband scattered, Corban must make new allies if he hopes to survive. Meanwhile Corban has been taken prisoner by the Jotun, warrior giants who ride their enormous bears into battle. Then Asroth and his demon-horde will finally break into the Banished Lands and become flesh. With all seven under his command, he can open a portal to the Otherworld. And together with Calidus and his ally Queen Rhin, Nathair will do anything to obtain the remaining Treasures. King Nathair has taken control of the fortress at Drassil and three of the Seven Treasures are in his possession. The fourth in The Faithful and the Fallen series, Wrath by John Gwynne is the breathtaking, pulse-pounding conclusion to an epic series.Įvents are coming to a climax in the Banished Lands, as the war reaches new heights.
