Staff Reviews


Legend is one of my favorite books of all time. Set in the final days of the Drenai Kingdom the Nadir are poised to sweep over the land like a tide with only the undermanned fortress of Dros Delnoch standing in their way. However, though the garrison may be small it's led by the legend himself, Druss. Will he be enough to turn the tide? Maybe not, but that’s beside the point. Stick to the code and stand on the wall an you can be a man to walk the mountains with!

Description


“David Gemmell tells a tale of very real adventure, the stuff of true epic fantasy.”—R. A. Salvatore

Druss, Captain of the Ax, is the stuff of legends. Tales of his battles are told throughout the land, and the stories expand with each telling. But Druss himself grows older, until finally, the warrior turns his back on glory and retreats to his mountain lair. There he awaits his old enemy: death. 

But far below, the barbarian Nadir hordes are on the march. All that stands between them and the Drenai people is a mighty six-walled fortress, Dros Delnoch—a great citadel that seems destined to fall. If it does, the Nadir will sweep inexorably across the land, killing all who oppose them.

Reluctantly Druss agrees to come down from his mountaintop to lead this last, hopeless fight. Lost causes mean nothing to him—he has fought in such battles a thousand times in a thousand lands. And he is a hero to inspire a new generation of warriors. He is Druss the Legend.

Thus begins David Gemmell’s most celebrated novel—an unrivaled classic of mythic heroism and magnificent adventure. . . .
