Ruin

In the vein of George R. R. Martin's Game of Thrones, comes the third novel in John Gwynne's epic fantasy series, The Faithful and the Fallen, continuing from Malice and Valour.

The Banished Lands are consumed by war. Calculating Queen Rhin has conquered the west and high king Nathair holds the cauldron, most powerful of the Seven Treasures. At his back stand the scheming Calidus and a warband of Kadoshim, dread demons of the Otherworld. They plan to bring Asroth and his host of Fallen into the world of flesh, but to do so they need all Seven Treasures. Nathair also finally knows the truth: that he's been deceived about his grand destiny. Now his choices will determine the fate of all.

Elsewhere, resistance is growing. Queen Edana finds allies in the Ardan swamps and Maquin is on the run, though hunted by his enemies. He will witness a dawning rebellion - in Nathair's realm itself.
