Battle the dark Reclaim the world The Demon-King of the Otherworld is finally free. And armed with mighty new starstone weapons, Asroth prepares to lead his demonic war-host south. With the help of his dark bride Fritha, he plans to crush the warrior-angels and their allies. In the shadows of Forn Forest, Riv and the surviving Ben-Elim hold a war council. After the catastrophic events at Drassil, they are desperate to unite those who would stand against Asroth and his army. So they fly west, to join the Order of the Bright Star. But Drem and the Order are besieged by a demon horde - and their fragile defence may soon shatter. Across the Banished Lands armies are heading south, to settle ancient grudges and decide the fate of humanity. Drem, Riv and the Bright Star's warriors will need every ounce of their courage if they are to join the final battle. But will their combined forces be enough to face down their greatest foe In A Time of Courage, angels, demons and heroes face the ultimate fight for the Banished Lands. Thousands of years of enmity will be put to the test, in the epic conclusion to John Gwynne's mighty trilogy.

Reviews

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 -- Mark Lawrence on A Time of Blood
This book is so damned good . . . John Gwynne writes fantasy with the heart of a hero and the inventiveness of a master mage -- Sebastien de Castell on A Time of Blood
This is extraordinarily good, an epic feat of the imagination. In this series Gwynne is setting a new benchmark in fantasy. Id love to see it on screen -- Giles Christian on A Time of Blood
A riveting sequel, full of rousing, cinematic action that propels a wonderfully absorbing story -- James Islington on A Time of Blood
Reminds me of why I became a fantasy enthusiast in the first place -- Robin Hobb on A Time of Dread

Great evils, conflicted heroes, bloody battles, betrayal, and giants riding battle bears! What's not to love
