About this ebook
He was known as Druss. The Deathwalker. Though the blood of merciless butchers coursed through his veins, he had found a fragile peace through his love for beautiful, mystical Rowena. Then came the day when Druss returned to their village and found everyone dead--massacred by slavers who had stolen the women to sell for gold. Rowena was among the missing.
Armed with only his powerful double-bladed ax, Snaga, Druss went after Rowena. His journey would carry him from the highest thrones of power to the deepest dungeons of depravity. Along the way, he would battle savage monsters and descend into terrifying lands of black magic and demons.
Yet one thing was certain. Druss would have victory . . . or death.

The character of the hero is well developed. Also, the villians are sufficiently formidable to make the hero seem like a legend. At the same time the feats of the hero Druss are made to seem believable. He is made to seem human and not like a Superman. On the negative side, the story does not flow to a climax as well as some other novels I have read. All in all, the positives outweigh the negatives

Those familiar with Druss from previous novels knows how brutal the warrior is portrayed. This novel is no exception. Marvelously written to inspire and teach its readers; the novel is a page turner.

One of my favorite fantasy authors of all time. A straight forward, action packed style that has you rooting for the underdog all the way through. There are helpless women, true, but there are weak and flawed men also. Yet both, men and women characters, find themselves in the role of hero. I'm sorry Mr Gemmell has passed and will no longer be putting pen to paper. He is missed.

About the author
David Gemmell was born in London, England, in the summer of 1948. Expelled from school at sixteen for organizing a gambling syndicate, he became a laborer by day, and at night his six-foot-four-inch, 230-pound frame allowed him to earn extra money as a bouncer working nightclubs in Soho.
Born with a silver tongue, Gemmell rarely needed to bounce customers, relying on his gift of gab to talk his way out of trouble. At eighteen this talent led to a job as a trainee journalist, and he eventually worked as a freelancer for the London Daily Mail, Daily Mirror, and Daily Express. His first novel, Legend, was published in 1984 and has remained in print ever since. He became a full-time writer in 1986.
