A Time of Dread
(Of Blood and Bone Book 1)
By John Gwynne
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. . .

Review
Firstly, I did not realise that this was a follow-up series, and this is the first book that I have read by John Gwynn, but that was really of no consequence because this novel was amazing from start to finish.
This novel has been called an epic historical fantasy and I can see why because it really is epic. The word-building, the characters, the setting, everything about this novel was truly wonderful. I was completely sucked into this book and time seemed to stop as I lost myself within the pages.
This novel is a must read!
