Shadows of Kriegland - Ian Bonar
Ian Bonar is a British author of dark fantasy fiction, born and raised under the reliably grey skies of Scotland. A lifelong lover of epic worlds, morally complex characters, and stories that don't shy away from the harder truths, Ian wrote the Shadowknight Saga to explore what happens to people when darkness — political, supernatural, and personal — tests everything they believe in. When he's not writing novels, screenplays, or TTRPG adventures, Ian can be found painting miniatures with a level of focus he absolutely does not apply to household chores, rolling dice at the tabletop, or watching rugby in the pub — which his friends insist counts as "research into human conflict." Shadows of Kriegland is his debut novel and the first book in the Shadowknight Saga.
