About this ebook

"In my pantheon of literary greats, David Gemmell stands alone . . . he put me on the path I still walk today" - Conn Iggulden
"In the realm of people-driven fantasy fiction, Gemmell sets the standard" -- TIME OUT

**********************************************
For centuries the tribes of the Nadir have suffered under the despotic tyranny of their Gothir overlords.
Disunited and distrustful of one another they await the coming of a Messianic warlord, who will unite them against the oppressors.
Into this swirling, chaotic landscape come three men who will change the fate of the continent: Talisman the Mysterious, enigmatic Nadir warrior, haunted by his past and filled with dreams of finding the Uniter; Sieben the Poet, searching for the mysteries of life and love; and Druss the Axeman, determined to find two mystic gems to heal a mortally wounded friend.
Together they will journey across a war-torn land, and descend beyond the gates of Hell, where a long-dead king holds the key to a secret that will change the world.
The Legend of Deathwalker continues the extraordinary tale of Druss among the Nadir started in Legend
