Overview:
Step into John Gwynne’s Of Blood and Bone with a complete three-book collection that weaves prophecy, war, and heartfelt courage into one immersive epic. In A Time of Dread, the Ben-Elim—an ancient order of warrior angels—appear to dominate the Banished Lands, yet their rule is brittle beneath a looming darkness. Drem the trapper unearths signs of demonic black magic, while Riv, a young and hot-headed soldier,finds himself navigating treacherous loyalties within the Ben-Elim’s ranks. The second volume, A Time of Blood, accelerates the nightmare: at Starstone Lake, horror bleeds into reality as magic mutates men into beasts and a resurrected demon stirs again, forcing Drem and his companions to flee and warn the Order of the Bright Star as Fritha hunts them. In A Time of Courage, the demon king Asroth is free, a new starstone arsenal in hand, and a war council gathers beneath Forn Forest to unite against a southbound inferno. This paperback three-pack delivers a grand, uninterrupted voyage through a fully realised, awe-inspiring fantasy world.

What Makes This Collection Special:
This trio tightens the epic’s strands into one cohesive arc, offering a seamless reading journey from first to last page. Gwynne deepens the Banished Lands’ mythology while expanding the cast—Riv’s resolve, Drem’s grit, and Fritha’s formidable cunning—so you feel every setback and victory alongside them. The set is a practical treasure: a single purchase for a complete story, a matching, shelf-worthy presentation, and an inviting doorway for new readers to dive straight into Gwynne’s grand fantasy universe. It’s also a perfect gift for fans of high-stakes battles, celestial lore, and morally complex heroes who fight with courage even when the odds are grim. For dedicated readers, the three-book sequence becomes a binge-worthy marathon—an uninterrupted plunge into a world where every choice matters and every page turn thunders with consequence.

Books Included in This Collection:
A Time of Dread
Enter a snow-drenched north where the Ben-Elim’s iron rule casts long shadows. Drem, a rugged trapper, stumbles upon brutal signs of demonic magic, while Riv, a young soldier, faces unsettling truths about loyalty and power. This opening installment lays the war’s groundwork, sharpening the chase between light and darkness and inviting readers to invest in a cast whose fates feel personal and perilous. Gwynne’s world-building sings here—the cold, the code, the looming threat—pulling you deeper into a tale where courage is forged in the furnace of conflict.

A Time of Blood
At Starstone Lake, the nightmare intensifies as magic warps men into beasts and a risen demon casts a new shadow over the land. Drem and his friends race to warn the Order of the Bright Star, while Fritha, a fearsome high priestess of the demons, closes in with relentless intent. The pace accelerates as loyalties fracture and the scope widens beyond borders, delivering brutal battles, treacherous politics, and escalating stakes that keep you hooked until the very last line.

A Time of Courage
With Asroth freed and wielding devastating new starstone power, the war you’ve been waiting for explodes across the map.
