And perhaps, the final one.Blood & Bond is a sweeping continuation of The Outerlands trilogy-a tale of ancient power, shifting alliances, and a battle not only for survival, but for memory, mercy, and the soul of the world itself.For fans of classic epic fantasy with heart, humour, and high stakes-this is the journey deeper into the fire.
