Synopsis

'THE HARD-BITTEN CHAMPION OF BRITISH HEROIC FANTASY' - Joe Abercrombie

'HEROISM AND HEARTBREAK . . . GEMMELL IS ADRENALINE WITH SOUL' - Brent Weeks

A country in desperate need of heroes . . .

Angostin invaders surge through the Highlands, laying waste to everything in their path. Darkness follows in their wake as a mad necromancer resurrects the eons-dead Vampyre Kings.

Only the bandit Jarek Mace, and the magicker and bard Owen Odell, have the courage to fight the Angostins and the undead. Whispers soon spread that Mace is the legendary Morningstar, a saviour who will protect his country in its hour of need. Yet Mace seems nothing more than a thief and a liar.

As the final battle approaches, Odell wonders which of the two Maces will triumph: the self-serving rogue or the saviour of his people, the Morningstar.

This very entertaining heroic fantasy tale is the story about Jarek Mace aka the Morningstar. Storytelling is of a superb quality, the story is beautifully crafted and executed, the characters within are brought to live in a masterful manner, but as a whole I found it somewhat less emotional captivat......more

Heroism, action, self sacrifice...what's not to like! Gemmell at his best! Okay so some of you won't like Gemmell, there's no accounting for taste. I rate him very high, one of my favorites....sometimes it's got meaning upon meaning other times it's pure brain candy. But even then it's really great b......more

4.5 دیوید گمل در میان طوفان غباری رو انتخاب می‌کنه و به نحوی به اون می‌پردازه که اون غبار تأثیر به‌سزایی در از جا کندن درختان و ویرانی امپراطوری‌ها داشته باشه. من این قدرتِ گمل رو بارها توی کتاب‌هاش دیدم و تحسین کردم. اینجا سوالی پیش می‌آد که آیا این نقطه ضعف نیست که هربار توی کتاب‌هاش این اتفاق میوف......more

Goodreads review by Dylan on September 10, 2021

Why would you be interested in the truth? Of what use is that to a storyteller? Your listeners will not want the truth. They never do, and they never did. They want heroes, boy. Men of wonder, handsome and tall, men of honor. The Highlanders of legend. A story of how a legend comes to be and a great......more
