“Full of wit and adventure, twists and turns, wonderful monsters, and astonishing revelations. An absolute joy.” – M. R. Carey, author of Infinity Gate
Enter a world of dungeons and dragons, magic and manticores, and goblins and gargoyles . . .
Bait doesn’t remember a time before the dungeon. Before the dragon stole her from her cot. She doesn’t know what her name was before she was handed over to the monstrous denizens of the dungeon beneath the sorcerer’s tower. Luckily for Bait, they decided not to eat her. And so she grew up in the dark – the goblins her adopted family, a vengeful minotaur her protector, a sentient skull her tutor, and a blob of corridor slime her main source of nutrition.
But the labyrinthine dungeon, with its haunted halls, buried temples and forgotten magics, draws treasure hunters like moths to flame. And as the outside world starts to intrude, Bait will learn what it means to be monstrous and she will have to decide where she truly belongs.
“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
“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 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."Library Journal on The Sword Triumphant
-
"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
