Description

'It gets faster and more fascinating by the page' – Conn Iggulden, author of
Empire


An epic coming-of-age fantasy inspired by mythology and the Iron Age,
Malice
by John Gwynne is the first in The Faithful and the Fallen series.

Young Corban watches enviously as boys become warriors, learning the art of war. He yearns to wield his sword and spear to protect his king’s realm. But that day will come all too soon.

The Banished Lands has a violent past where armies of men and giants clashed in battle, the earth running dark with their heartsblood. Although the giant-clans were broken in ages past, their ruined fortresses still scar the land.

But now giants stir anew, the very stones weep blood and there are sightings of giant wyrms. Those who can still read the signs see a threat far greater than the ancient wars.

Sorrow will darken the world, as angels and demons make it their battlefield.

Then there will be a war to end all wars.

Continue the epic fantasy series with Valour.

A bit of a slow start, but stick with it. Starts to gather pace about 1/2 way through then doesn't let up. A beautifully created world, and character's you care about.

Phenomenal book, can't wait to pick up the next.

Malice is classic epic fantasy at its best. It loses half a star due to the very slow beginning, but I guess that was necessary for the world building. I will continue with the series and I will also read all the books by John Gwynne at some point, although I’m in no rush.
