The Legend
Druss, Captain of the Axe: the stories of his life were told everywhere. Instead of the wealth and fame he could have claimed, he had chosen a mountain lair, high in the lonely country bordering on the clouds. There the grizzled old warrior kept company with snow leopards and awaited his old enemy death.
The Fortress
Mighty Dross Delnoch, protected by six outer walls, the only route by which an army could pass through the mountains. It was the stronghold of the Drenai empire. And now it was the last battleground, for all else had fallen before the Nadir hordes.
And hope rested on the skills of that one old man …
After I enjoyed reading Gemmell’s WINTER WARRIORS, I immediately went out and bought seven more David Gemmell books. I aim to read all of his Fantasy fiction in 2008.
LEGEND is legend, from what I’ve read about it. Gemmell’s first book, written when he was erroneously diagnosed with cancer; he put his heart and soul into a book – which is literally a metaphor about death – and wrote LEGEND. Can’t wait to finish this beauty!
