Ryan Cahill with Hannah Kaner for 'Of Blood and Fire'

It is with great excitement that we welcome indie-publishing sensation Ryan Cahill to Edinburgh to celebrate the launch of The Broken Binding Press Edition of Of Blood and Fire, the first of his critically acclaimed 'The Bound and The Broken' series!

Ryan will be joined on stage by Sunday Times Bestseller and friend of the bookshop, Hannah Kaner to discuss all things magic swords, dragons, and epic fantasy.

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 him and he is thrust into a war that has been raging for centuries.

There is no prophecy. His coming was not foretold. He bleeds like any man, and bleed he will.
