Summary

The prophecy was clear. Upon the death of three kings, the world will be plunged into chaos, and all the cast-out demons of history will return to bring blood and horror to the world. Two of the kings are dead. The third, about to be born, is hunted by the Demon Riders of the Krayakin, Lords of the Undead.

All the terrifying forces of evil range against a pregnant queen at bay in a haunted forest. But she is not alone. Three warriors stand with her, the last remnants of the once proud Drenai army. Three old men, ancient heroes, discarded by the king: Nogusta the Swordsman, Kebra the Bowman, and the hulking fighter, Bison. The fate of empires rests on their fading skills as they journey through a tormented world on a perilous quest to save the unborn king.

A Man to Walk the Mountains

the more I listen/read of the late great Dave Gemmelll the more I realise just how amazing his work is.

I read everything he ever wrote When I was a young man, strong and in my prime. now a year off fifty I see everything he wrote in a different light. I was Confused, now I am Bison. still strong still young in my heart. life behind me when once before . I hope I fly above the mountains when it's my time.

Listen to the stories. live the legend

Make Sure Your Deeds are Always Noble

The prophecy says that 3 kings must die; only then will the gateway be open for the Illohir to return from the Great Void. Two down and a newborn heir is left, guarded by 3 aged warriors who show that strength is not only limited to the young. They are flawed, but determined to protect the newborn.

When two demon brothers go to war with each other, things will not end well and the fallout for everyone will be devastating. However, Emsharas shows that, although he is no longer in demon form, he still has the strength to deal with Anharat.

This is slightly different from the previous Drenai books insofar as it concentrates on demons, magick and the void. It is also a standalone.

A ripping yarn.

An excellent adventure, the narrator read beautifully with a gravelly voice and imbued the story with great atmosphere.

The best of Gemmell

Very similar to A journey for Lost Heroes. Gemmell weaves so much humanity into his fantasy writing as to make his characters so relatable. This book resonates more now I’m in my 30s than it did as a teen reader. Find me a more emotional moment than Bison’s wings…I will wait.
