The Dungeon Book

"The Dungeon Book manages the difficult task of being epic and heartfelt both at once, and does it with style. I fell in love with Bait and her menagerie of friends immediately."—Django Wexler, author of How To Become The Dark Lord and Die Trying

"Full of wit and adventure, twists and turns, wonderful monsters, and astonishing revelations. An absolute joy."—M. R. Carey, author of Infinity Gate

"One of those books that leaves you feeling the world can be a better place after reading it. Recommended for everyone's bookshelves (and dungeon hoards)."—Genevieve Cogman, author of the Invsible Library

"For a story set in the deepest, darkest dungeon, The Dungeon Book absolutely bursts with warmth, heart, and energy. One of the best things you're going to read this year."
 —Jackson Ford, author of The Bone Raiders

"The Dungeon Book is a wonderful thing. Witty and charming, it’s a love letter both to Kipling’s inspirational story and Hanrahan’s enduring  immersion in dungeon lore. As always, Gareth’s imagination is the star, and the story flips your expectations every time you think you know where it’s going. A completely delightful book."—Justin Lee Anderson, author of The Lost War

"The Dungeon Book is chock-full of wit and weirdness. It’s a heroine’s journey turned (literally) upside-down, where you’re rooting for the monsters and wishing adventurers would stay home and mind their own business. Gareth Hanrahan excels at creating wondrously unique settings, and he’s done so yet again. This book was terrific."—Nicholas Eames, author of Kings of the Wild

"The Dungeon Book is the kind of novel packed full of wonder and adventure that makes people fall in love with fantasy."—Cameron Johnston, author of First Mage on the Moon

"Gareth has created something full of heart that will delight anyone who has ever been brave enough to roll the dice and delve a dungeon."—RJ Barker, author of The Bone Ships

"The reflective prose beautifully balances the wisdom of the old with the ambitions of the young, while the immersive worldbuilding feels both ancient and adventurous. Best of all, the snarky talking sword Spellbreaker is back with all his mischief and mayhem ... A powerful epic fantasy finale, perhaps the trilogy’s strongest installment." 

"In the tradition of Tolkien and Eddings, with a richly detailed narrative, well-drawn characters, epic battles, and political and religious intrigues, Hanrahan's outstanding first outing in the Lands of the Firstborn series will thrill fantasy readers—who will anxiously await the next book."—Booklist (Starred Review) on The Sword Defiant

"Gritty and rousing ... [Hanrahan] creates a wonderful sense of tension that is also tinged with sadness ... [and] fully realized environments with rich histories."—BookPage (Starred Review) on The Sword Defiant
