About this listen

The prophecy was clear. Upon the death of three kings, the world will be plunged into chaos, and all the castout 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.

I Really Enjoyed This

I thought this was an enjoyable read. Not David's usual protagonist and perhaps that's why I enjoyed it so much.

Good listen!

I felt like there were a few more demons and wizards in this than in the previous Dreni series books I’ve read. I'm not a big fan of that because it tends to veer off into the Harry Potter area. There's nothing wrong with Harry Potter, it's just not what I wanted. However, that's not the case here. DG’s themes of age and the philosophical discussions between characters make it a very interesting and entertaining book.

Another Awesome bk by David Gemmel & Sean Barrett

About 6 wks ago I found David Gemmells "Legend" The story of Drugs the Deathwalker & have burned through the Drenia series @ a pace that saddens me cause I know it's drawing to an end. Everytime Iv read/listen to one of DG's bks voiced by the outstanding Sean Barrett (a top 3 narrator in my personel pantheon on narrators) I think of Nine Fingers & for those of you that know the genre that's high praise. So staying with that thought if you love the "Bloody Nine" don't wait, start with Legend & I'll meet you @ the end of the Drenia series. Yes, it's that good!

As rich and wonderful as I remembered…

This was the first novel by Gemmel I read. It has taken me more than thirty years to return to his world, and I’m so glad I did. It’s one of the most elegantly compelling warrior tales I’ve ever read or listened to.

A master at the top of his game

Compelling plot, excellent character development with no filler. Amazon wants me to write more here.

The worst part of the Drenai series. But still OK

All jokes repeating over and ovet. The plot doesnt make much sense either. But still enjoyable.

It's David Gemmell

Loved but I loved it when I first read it, probably not his best book but I love them all and have never been able to put one down

Wonderful characters

This is one of my favorite Gemmel book. The beginning is a bit slow but once the action starts, I love the cast of characters and how every detail is used to reach the end.

At the start, the story is aligned with the blurb : a demon prince and 3 old warriors to oppose him. What matters is the characters themselves and how they face both age and fear to confront the demon, not because they know they will win but because they have to !
