Book description
They called him Bane the Bastard - though none said it to his face.
Born of treachery, his name a curse, he grew up among the warriors of
the Rigante. They valued his skills in war, but they feared the
violence in his heart.
And when, as a Wolfshead and Outlaw, he left Rigante lands, they
breathed sighs of relief.
But Bane would return, the destiny of the Rigante in his hands, the
fate of the world resting on his skills with a blade.
Midnight Falcon continues the tale of the Rigante, which began in
Sword in the Storm, and tells the epic story of Bane, the bastard son
of Connavar the King, and his quest for vengeance in a world of blood,
honour, betrayal and love.
David A. Gemmell's first novel, Legend, was first
published in 1984 and went on to become a classic. His most recent
Drenai and Rigante novels are available as Corgi paperbacks; all are
Sunday Times bestsellers.
Widely regarded as the finest writer of heroic fantasy, David
Gemmell lived in Sussex until his death in July 2006.
