![]() ![]() ![]() Not since the release of the Harry Potter books have I seen such a reaction amongst readers at the end of each book (especially Ruin). ![]() And I think that’s what makes the series so special – even in as dark a place as the Banished Lands, John Gwynne wrote a story in which light shines through. Set in the Celtic-inspired world of the Banished Lands (even the name sounds epic), the series tells a tale of giants, wolven, wyrms, prophecies, angels, demons, magical trinkets and treasures – everything you’d want for in a legend! But for all the ‘epic’, both in terms of scale and plot, the story pulses with the heart of its characters, full of life, loss, hope and hardship. His debut, Malice, won the David Gemmell Morningstar award, and the next three books ( Valour, Ruin, and Wrath) were all shortlisted for the Legend award. His The Faithful and the Fallen series has been named in our ‘ best of’ and ‘most anticipated’ lists time and again, and for good reason. John Gwynne is a favourite here at Fantasy Faction. ![]()
