help Valour FAQ
Do I need to read Malice before Valour?
Yes, Valour directly continues the wars, betrayals, and character arcs established in Malice. It is the second volume of John Gwynne's four-book series The Faithful and the Fallen.
Where is Corban at the beginning of Valour?
After the fall of Dun Carreg, Corban is fleeing with survivors and allies rather than living as an untested village boy. His group includes figures such as Storm, the wolven who becomes one of his closest companions.
Who are the Bright Star and Black Sun in Valour?
The prophecy presents the Bright Star as the champion of Elyon and the Black Sun as the champion of Asroth. Much of Valour's tension comes from competing claims about those identities and the manipulation surrounding Nathair and Corban.
What book comes after Valour?
Ruin is the third book in The Faithful and the Fallen and continues directly from Valour. The original series concludes with Wrath, while Gwynne later returned to the Banished Lands in the Of Blood and Bone trilogy.
