John Gwynne's stirring epic fantasy trilogy reaches new heights in this second volume, as demons rise up, angels fall and heroes are forged in the fires of war.
John Gwynne studied and lectured at Brighton University. He's been in a rock 'n' roll band, playing the double bass, travelled the USA and lived in Canada for a time. He is married with four children and lives in Eastbourne, running a small family business rejuvenating vintage furniture. His debut novel, Malice, won the David Gemmell Morningstar Award for Best Debut.
A great read that accelerates the pace and goes one up on its
excellent predecessor. The characters also grow with the story,
finding peril at every turn and few clear choices. Exciting,
action-packed fantasy

This book is so damned good . . . John Gwynne writes fantasy with
the heart of a hero and the inventiveness of a master mage

A riveting sequel, full of rousing, cinematic action that propels a

A Time of Blood is an irresistible jaw-dropping sequel that shows

‘Gwynne continues to be unafraid to dish out war, brutality and
loss and the climax does not disappoint . . . I was left with an
incredible finale that promises an explosive conclusion’

John Gwynne must be a sorcerer because A Time of Blood is one hell

didn’t want it to end. All I want to do is shout GO READ THIS!
