'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.

A fairly god book that kept my attention after a somewhat weak start... the narrator's engagement was with its different characters a bit frustrating .. but just bear with him as he sort of grows in to it and I with him.

Inte alls dum. Många karaktärer och olika platser. Så man skulle behövt en karta och ett utskrivet persongalleri. Men det funkar dom ljudbok ändå.

Really cool world setting and story. Little hard to keep track on all names. But I think that's a me problem more then the book.

Spännande ”klassisk” fantasy, mycket äventyr, inte så mycket karaktärsutveckling

Bra uppläsare!

Kanske är det så uppläsaren förstör upplevelsen. I så fall förtjänar "A Time of Dread" kanske 3 stjärnor i betyg. Kanske.Första halvan är horribelt tråkig, jag var riktigt nära att sluta lyssna och sätta betyget på en etta. Något mindre dåligt därefter.Enformigt och ooriginellt.

Lovande utveckling. Mycket namn till att börja med. Och presentationen av namn i början var snarare förvirrande än till hjälp. Men bra historia som påminner lite om sagan om drakens återkomst med flera parallella historier .

Sjukt spännande svårt att lägga ifrån sig. Många charaktärer. Lite svårt att hålla koll i början. Men jävlar vad författaren är duktig på att bygga spänning
