Book description
A Time of Dread audiobook grips you by the throat from the first chapter and doesn't let go. John Gwynne's narration partner brings the Banished Lands to life with a raw intensity that makes every moment feel urgent. The world-building is staggering yet never overwhelming. You're thrown into this brutal landscape where warrior angels called Ben-Elim maintain order through fear. Peace enforced by violence. Sounds familiar? Maybe. But Gwynne makes it fresh.
Riv's desperation to join the peacekeeping force drives a fierce emotional core. Her journey unravels secrets that should've stayed buried. Meanwhile Sig, the giantess, investigates demon sightings with a grounded pragmatism that's oddly comforting in this chaos. And Drem, trapped in the frozen north, stumbles onto something ancient and evil stirring in the woods. Mutilated bodies. Predators that walk upright. The dread builds quietly, then explodes.
What strikes me most is how Gwynne balances multiple perspectives without losing momentum. Each character carries weight. Their choices ripple outward, reshaping alliances and threatening everything they know. The pacing is relentless. Just when you think you understand the rules, the story shifts. Demons aren't just returning-they're strategizing.
The audiobook format amplifies the tension. Voices carry emotion in ways text sometimes can't. You feel the cold biting through Drem's furs, the thunderous impact of Sig's footsteps, Riv's frustration crackling like live wire. This isn't just fantasy. It's mythic storytelling grounded in human struggle. Gwynne writes battles like poetry and whispers like screams. A Time of Dread earns its name. Listen before the silence ends.
