What this book is about
The first Faithful and the Fallen novel follows Corban, a blacksmith's son in the realm of Dun Scaith, as the world slides toward the War of Treasures prophesied to end the age. Gwynne's epic fantasy is earnestly traditional — kinship, honor, and the slow assembly of a hero — with exceptional battle choreography.
