John Gwynne studied and lectured at Brighton University. He's been in a rock 'n' roll band, playing the double bass, travelled the USA and lived in Canada for a time. He is married with four children and lives in Eastbourne, running a small family business rejuvenating vintage furniture. Malice is his debut novel.
Influenced by Gemmell's Rigante and GRR Martin's Game of Thrones -
two good strands of DNA. Great characters and plot - it gets faster
and more fascinating by the page. All I want now is for the author
to put everything else aside, including his health - and write two
or three more as fast as humanly possible. Hell of a debut: Highly
recommended

With all manner of battles, betrayals and revelations. I
particularly enjoyed the battle scenes and duels ... If it sounds
like your thing, then it probably is
*Mark Lawrence*
With its warring clans, sleeping giants, Banished Lands and omens
and portents . . . is a strong contender for the “if you like Game
of Thrones, why not try this?” award.

It’s exciting when you find a strong new voice ringing out through
the halls of fantasy, and John Gwynne hits all the right spots in
his epic tale of good vs evil, the first in the Faithful & The
Fallen series . . . there’s a lot of pleasure to be had in this
debut novel; Gwynne is definitely one to watch.

Malice is easily one of the best fantasy novels I read this year,
and one which will appeal to most fans of the genre.
*Iwillreadbooks.com*
With three-dimensional characters, a gripping plot, and a world
that became real to me, John Gwynne’s Malice is a great debut. In
short, this is the kind of fantasy I love to read and I truly can’t
wait for the next volume in The Faithful and the Fallen!
