SFF Addicts Ep. 227: John Gwynne talks The Wolves of War, Family Bonds, Mythology, Truth & More

November 3, 2026 by Adrian M. Gibson Leave a Comment

Episode 227 of SFF Addicts has arrived!

Join host Adrian M. Gibson as he chats with bestselling author John Gwynne about his new novel The Wolves of War, grief and the bonds of family, Slavic history, folklore and witchcraft, truth and heroism in the face of discrimination, blending history with magic, balancing a large cast of characters, Norse mythology, the Poetic Edda and Ragnarök, creepy Scandinavian folkloric creatures, The Brothers Gwynne and the book community, teaching sociology, discovering your values and more.

NOTE: This is part one of a two-part chat with John. Stay tuned next week for his writing masterclass on Writing Realistic Fantasy Combat.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Apologies for John’s audio in the first ten minutes or so. Annoyingly, our recording platform started recording from his phone microphone, but we switched to his computer microphone as soon as we realized what was happening.


John Gwynne is the bestselling author of The Bloodsworn Saga, The Faithful and the Fallen series and the Of Blood and Bone series. His latest novel is The Wolves of War, which you can purchase ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠.

Find John on ⁠Instagram⁠, ⁠Bluesky⁠, ⁠Amazon⁠ and ⁠his website⁠.
