About this listen

Set in the same world as the Faithful and the Fallen quartet, the first story in John Gwynne's Of Blood and Bone series, A Time of Dread, takes place 100 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....

Great new characters, although still very sad to have lost my old favourites. I can’t wait for the next instalment.

More great story

I’m particularly touched by the depth of the characters & their epic characteristic traits! The main characters are amazingly inspiring.

The Ben-Elim and the Karashim is a grand analogy to Yin & Yang. To the dark siths & the Jedi’s.

The battle cry of the Order of Brightstar brings me goosebumps! So powerful! “Truth & Courage!”

I loved this book, so addictive with all its Valor & Epicness, building up for a Masterpiece trilogy!!

Dazzling story of beautiful epic fantasy, valor & serious intriguing depth! Kudos to John Gwynne!!
