About this listen

In A Time of Courage, angels, demons and heroes face the ultimate fight for the Banished Lands. This is the epic conclusion to John Gwynne's mighty trilogy: Of Blood and Bone.

Battle the dark. Reclaim the world....

The King of the Otherworld is finally free. Armed with fearsome new starstone weapons, Asroth prepares to lead his demonic war-host south. And with the help of his bride, Fritha, he plans to crush the warrior-angels and their allies for good.

In the shadows of Forn Forest, Riv and the surviving Ben-Elim hold a war council ­­– desperate to unite those who would stand against Asroth and his army. They decide to fly west, to join the Order of the Bright Star. But Drem and the Order are already under siege by a demon horde and their fragile defences may soon shatter.

Across the Banished Lands, armies are gathering to settle ancient grudges and decide the fate of humanity. Drem, Riv and the Bright Star’s warriors will need to call on all their courage as they face the final battle. But will it be enough, as their darkest hour draws near?

These books are brilliantly read and written. What an amazing heroic adventure, with an abundance of lovable characters. One of the best fantasy series ever written/ orated. Many times throughout I found myself smiling and even teary. A true masterpiece. John Gwynne is a genius as is the Narrator Damian Lynch. Best series ever. Jamie, Australia

The theme of love and friendship as always with Gwyne feels so organic and well based, awesome ending to the trilogy.
Performance is great, however, I deducted one star because when the characters are supposed to be yelling the narrator does like this hush scream that pulls you a bit out of the story

Great wrap up

Great epic

As with last series, I really loved all the books except the finale. I can't really put my finger on it but the endings of both this series and the last one just dont hit the mark.

It's ok

If you read the last three, then don’t bother with these! I just finished and honestly skipped through a bit at the end of book 3.
The same shit again!
I won’t be reading any more of this.

The Narrator was excellent!

Just The Same!
