Publisher's summary

The Drenai fortress of Dros Delnoch has fallen, and blood-hungry Nadir hordes sweep across the land, bringing desolation and despair. But with the Nadir triumphant, slavers seize a young girl in the tiny realm of Gothir, and a peasant boy steps off on a quest that will shake the world.

To rescue her, Kiall must cross the savage steppes and journey through the Halls of Hell, facing ferocious beasts, deadly warriors and demons of the dark.

But the boy is not alone. With him are the legendary heroes of Bel-Azar: Chareos the Blademaster, Beltzer the Axeman and the bowmen Finn and Maggrig.

And one among them hides a secret that could free the world of Nadir domination. For he is the Nadir Bane, the hope of the Drennai.

He is the Earl of Bronze.

Great narration of a great story

This was an excellent book in Gemmel's Drenai Saga and Sean Barret brought it to life. His performance added so much depth to the characters.

Great fantasy

I first read this in middle school, too young for it really, but I ate it up and a year or so later I read it again. It left a lasting impression on me, and I don't think I really realized how much it shaped my taste in books until revisiting it here almost two decades later. It's a well-crafted story, it's rich with themes of power, gender, love (of various kinds), war and its consequences, cynicism vs idealism, comradery, and more. It rewards your paying attention and reflection. It doesn't have the politics of A Song of Ice and Fire but I would say fans of GRRM should give this a try. If you want your swords and magic you've got your swords and magic. If you want your thoughtful subversion of stereotypical fantasy and fairy story tropes you've got that too. If you want themes and symbolism, the human heart in conflict with itself, compelling characters, and all that good shit it's here as well.

Editing issues

The narration is phenomenal, the story beautifully done. There are repeat chapters due to editing.

Ok

This is not as good as other David Gemmell's other books like Legend and King Beyond the Gate and Waylander in my opinion.
