I am the author of epic fantasy series The Faithful and the Fallen, Of Blood and Bone and The Bloodsworn Saga. I'm also a Viking re-enactor and enjoy nothing more than standing in the shield wall with my three sons, who are as passionate about swords and axes as I am (when I'm not stuck in my coat of mail; it's harder than it looks).

Adam R. Bishop
Adam R. Bishop is an epic fantasy author from Ontario, Canada.
Buy books on Amazon
Raised in a small town, before the birth of the internet, imagination was everything. Visual art quickly became his first passion. However, this all changed after reading The Hobbit. The world of J.R.R. Tolkien quickly became the kindling of a lifelong relationship with fantasy.
Other greats from the world of fantasy such as C.S. Lewis and Hayao Miyazaki, offered further insight into said genre. Amidst such immersion, interest in Nordic and Greek mythology led to a brief pursuit of historical academics. With a well-rounded understanding of myth, lore and all things fantasy, the beginnings of his own world began to take shape.
Adam has always thought of books as more than just the t -
