Award-winning author John Gwynne returns to the world of the Banished Lands with an epic series, starting with A Time of Dread, the first volume in the Of Blood and Bone trilogy. In the series, we discover that Ben-Elim, a race of warrior angels, once saved humanity from a powerful demon horde. And now these warriors rule over mankind within the Banished Lands – allegedly for their own protection. But some feel oppressed, as a deadly rift is growing within the Ben-Elim. And as demons plot their own resurgence, a terrifying enemy rises from the shadows . . . This series is ideal for anyone who loves Mark Lawrence, Patrick Rothfuss and George R. R. Martin.
