'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.

Hard to get into and too many characters to keep track of in the beginning

The story isn't bad, but it's not good either. It never really drew me in. It was always just something to listen to while cycling home or loading the dishwasher. Even during tense scenes I never really felt the urge to continue listening; to know how the story continues. Additionally, it might just be that I'm uncommonly gifted in this regard, but I saw all the major turning points coming from a mile off. So to me the story felt very predictable.

It starts out with a lot of different characters to get to know. Confusing as you hop from one to another. But I gave it chance and it was worth it. Once you can keep them all apart it is a nice mix of personalities and storylines

The fighting is poorly written. A large group of demon hunters raid a demon's lair, but somehow all ignore the demon during the fighting. Except for two hunters, one of which somehow has godlike skills during the fight.

Not any way near as good as The Faithful and the Fallen, but kind of okay if you've read that first series. Too bad...The narrator reads it...Like this...Taking way too many pauses...And way too long pauses...Even when...There's no reason to...
