Of Blood and Fire ✦
by Ryan Cahill
I am so damn excited to announce our collaboration with Ryan and The Broken Binding for this month's book club pick! After publishing independently, Of Blood and Fire will now be the very first release from The Broken Binding's new publishing house - and we're including the SIGNED high spec, first print run hardback for our book club this February! 😱
Not only that, but we will kick off reading with Ryan himself, as he joins us online for a (spoiler free) chat about the book with our members!

Born in fire. Tempered in blood.
Epheria is a land divided by war and mistrust. The High Lords of the South squabble and fight, only kept in check by the Dragonguard, traitors of a time long past, who serve the empire of the North.
In the remote villages of southern Epheria, still reeling from the tragic loss of his brother, Calen Bryer prepares for The Proving – a test of courage and skill that not all survive.
But when three strangers arrive in the village of Milltown, with a secret they are willing to die for, Calen’s world is ripped from under him and he is thrust headfirst into a war that has been raging for centuries.
There is no prophecy. His coming was not foretold.
About the author
Ryan Cahill is an epic Fantasy author from Dublin, Ireland.

Growing up with authors such as J.K.Rowling, Terry Prachett and J.R.R. Tolkien – before discovering the worlds of George R.R.Martin, Robert Jordan and Brandon Sanderson – Ryan was always immersed in the art of worldbuilding.

There are three things Ryan has always told himself about writing. Write the books you want to read. Write the books that your younger self would be proud of you for reading. Make sure they have dragons.
