Klappentext

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.
