Synopses & Reviews
The explosive conclusion to Gemmell's London Times bestselling fantasy "Rigante" epic, in the vein of George Martin's A Game of Thrones and Mel Gibson's Braveheart.
Civil war erupts in the highlands of the Rigante. For most men the war means brother fighting brother in burning towns and ruined cities, but for a few it is a pathway to something far more deadly, a power that could reshape the world -- or destroy it.
Gaise Macon, the Stormrider, and Kaelin Ring, the brooding Ravenheart, are sworn and natural enemies -- unaware that the fate of the world rests in their hands. A secret lost in the uncharted past returns to haunt them both and they must face the malice of powerful men, as well as the vengeance of an ancient god. As the immense armies of evil descend upon the north, it seems as if nothing will stop them.
