About this ebook
The fourth in The Faithful and the Fallen series, Wrath by John Gwynne is the breathtaking, pulse-pounding conclusion to an epic series.
It’s time to brave the final battle . . .
In the Banished Lands, the war reaches new heights. King Nathair has seized the fortress at Drassil, and now possesses three of the Seven Treasures. And with Calidus and Queen Rhin, Nathair will do anything to obtain the rest. They will allow him to open a portal to the Otherworld – so Asroth and his demon-horde can break into the Banished Lands and finally become flesh.
Meanwhile Corban has been captured by the Jotun, warrior giants who ride enormous bears into battle. His warband scattered, Corban must make new allies to survive. But can he bond with competing factions of warlike giants? Somehow he must, to counter the threat Nathair represents.
His life hangs in the balance – and with it, the fate of the Banished Lands. Truth, courage and loyalty will be tested as never before.
Wrath is the final entry in the Faithful and the Fallen quartet. It is followed by the Of Blood and Bone trilogy, which begins with A Time of Dread and is set one hundred years after the events of Wrath.
Praise for John Gwynne:

I really enjoyed this book and didn't want to put it down. I found the previous book very good but very bleak whereas this I found had a better balance. There were still plenty of dark parts but this was contrasted by the hope and fist pumping moments. It was very sad to see the end of yet more loved characters but was offset by those that deserved and got their comeuppance and grisly ends. I look forward to seeing more works from the author in the future.

Having read too many fantasy books to count with no continuity and a lot of waffling, all I can say is "brilliant". Well written, waffle free and spell binding, thank you.
