Book description
While the warlike and heartless Aenir ravage the territory outside the
mountain fastness of the clans, Sigarni, the Hawk Queen, arrives in this
alternate version of her own universe through a gate in space and time.
Taliesen, last of the gatekeepers, has no idea why she has arrived but
knows that heroes are needed… Only Caswallon, loner, warrior and thief,
realises the true extent of danger and horrors that his people are about
to face. As Taliesen tries to discover Sigarni's purpose, Caswallon must
unite the clans to overcome their greatest peril. In this sequel to THE
IRONHAND'S DAUGHTER, David Gemmell returns to the clean air of High
Druin and the smell of blood and burning that is soon to taint it.
David Gemmell's first novel, LEGEND was published in 1984, beginning his
acclaimed Drenai saga. He was widely regarded as Britain's king of
heroic fantasy. He died in July 2006.
