Book cover info
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 sets 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 the secret that could free the world of Nadir domination. For he is the Nadir Bane, the hope of the Drenai.
He is the Earl of Bronze.
My Comments
Oh joy of joys, Tenaka Khan returns in this book, in a very unexpected way. This book follows after King Beyond the Gate chronologically, and shows what has happened in the lands of Gothir and Nadir since that book. There are new heroes to be learnt about, all of whom you take into your heart once again. There is a lovely touch with this story, and that is the two bowmen, Finn and Maggrig. Gemmell touches on the issue of homosexuality in a way that seems very natural and shows a loving and tenderness that is quite exquisite. Again it makes you yearn for more of Tenaka Khan though....he's definitely up there as one of my fave characters ever! Hope you enjoy this as much as I did...let me know your thoughts on it.
