About the author

I am the author of epic fantasy series The Faithful and the Fallen, Of Blood and Bone and The Bloodsworn Saga. I'm also a Viking re-enactor and enjoy nothing more than standing in the shield wall with my three sons, who are as passionate about swords and axes as I am (when I'm not stuck in my coat of mail; it's harder than it looks).
I live on the south coast of the UK with my beautiful wife, three sons and my daughter, and an assortment of animals (at the moment three dogs, a horse and a lamb who thinks she's a dog).
My dogs think I am their slave.

Malice, my debut novel, was published by Pan Macmillan in 2012 and went on to win the David Gemmell Morningstar Award for Best Fantasy Debut of 2012. That was a truly wonderful moment, as David Gemmell is a hero of mine and one of the reasons I write.

The following three books in the series - Valour, Ruin and Wrath, were all shortlisted for the David Gemmell Legend Award for Best Fantasy Novels of 2014, 2015 and 2016, with Wrath winning the 2017 BookNest Awards for Best Traditionally Published Novel.

My second series, of Blood and Bone, is set in the Banished Lands, the same world as the first series. Book 1, A Time of Dread, begins 130 years after the events of the first series. A Time of Courage, book 3 Of Blood and Bone, made the Spiegel Bestseller's List in Germany.

My latest book, The Shadow of the Gods, book 1 of the Bloodsworn Saga, will be published in May 2021. It is inspired by Norse mythology, Beowulf and Ragnarök.

I am represented by Julie Crisp.

Another amazing series from John Gwynne. Even though this is a sequel trilogy, I feel like it could stand on it's own as a perfectly written fantasy trilogy. The story takes place about 100 years after the events of Wrath, book 4 from The Faithful and the Fallen. A whole new set of characters in a changed world ruled by the iron hand of the Ben-Elim. I really got into the plot of this series, it was once again written at a fast pace with plenty of action and battles. But even with the break neck pace of the series, I still very much enjoyed the character development and arcs that we get through the three books. Overall this ones an easy 5 stars and I think it is right on par with the original series. READ THIS NOW!

After reading faithful and the fallen, I didn’t think that those four books could be matched. I was wrong all the action, the characters, the betrayal it was there. Well done John Gwynne, eagerly awaiting the third installment of the bloodsworn.
