Book description
Born in the storm that doomed his father, Connavar grows to manhood
among the mist-covered mountains of Caer Druagh, where the Rigante
tribe dwell in harmony with the land and its gods.
But beyond the border, across the water, an evil force is gathering
strength, an unstoppable force that will change the world beyond all recognition.
Haunted by malevolent spirits and hunted by evil men, Connavar sets
out on a spectacular mission to save his people.
In this latest tale of love and honour, friendship and courage, from
the master of the genre, Gemmell explores the intriguing worlds of
Celtic myth and earth magic.
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 tragic death in July 2006.
