Following the terrible triumph at Perapolis, he had taken the legendary Swords of Night and Day and ridden from the lands of Naashan. No-one knew where he had gone, and the assassins sent by the Witch Queen could find no trace of his passing. Three years later, a mob intent on murder gathers outside a distant monastery: they are faced by a single unarmed priest. In a few terrifying seconds their world is changed for ever, and word spreads across the lands of the East. Skilgannon is back. Now he must travel across a perilous, demon-haunted realm seeking a mysterious temple, and the ageless goddess who rules it. With assassins on his trail, and an army of murderous foes ahead, he sets off on a quest to bring the dead to life. But he does not travel alone. The man beside him is Druss the Legend.

An epic, all-action tale of love, betrayal and treachery from the master of heroic fantasy

Worth the battle.

I must admit I struggled to get through this one, but I am so glad I persevered! As always with Gemmell’S writing, it is the characters he creates that really capture you, and spur you on. This is my first Drenai novel, and I’m so excited to start my next one!
