good vs evil . . . there's a lot of pleasure to be had in this
debut novel; Gwynne is definitely one to watch."--SFX on Malice

found in Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time books and George R. R.
Martin's Song of Ice and Fire series."--Library Journal (starred
review) on Malice
"An accomplished and rousing tale of heroes and dark deeds that
fans of epic fantasy will devour."--Tom Lloyd on A Time of
Dread

de Castell on A Time of Dread

giants riding battle bears! What's not to love?"--Peter Newman on A
Time of Dread

two days. I couldn't put it down."--Miles Cameron on A Time of
Dread

"Reminds me of why I became a fantasy enthusiast in the first
place. Fantasy can be an escape from reality, but some stories
carry the reader to an enhanced reality, a place where the world
seems to have brighter colors and sharper contrasts."--Robin Hobb
on A Time of Dread

loved in years gone by. Exciting, well-written, swords and sorcery.
Try it on for size."--Mark Lawrence on A Time of Dread

became real to me ... this is the type of fantasy I love to read
and I truly can't wait to read the next volume in The Faith and the
Fallen!"--Fantasy Book Critic on Malice
"Warring clans, sleeping giants, Banished Lands and omens and
portents ... a strong contender for 'if you like Game of Thrones,
why not try this?' award."--Independent on Malice
