White Wolf

"For anyone who appreciates superior heroic fantasy, David Gemmell's offerings are mandatory."--Time Out London The blood-drenched lands of the Drenai are protected by a man who has been hated and feared as much as he has been loved: the living legend known as Druss, Captain of the Ax. But this is also the land of Skilgannon, a man who is armed with the mythic Swords of Night and Day, and perhaps Druss's equal on the field of battle. Brought together by a brutal attack, the two lone warriors form an unlikely alliance. But as Druss and Skilgannon face the supernatural threat of the Joinings--monstrous werebeasts with unholy strength and more than animal savagery--respect and trust will grow. Their alliance will become a friendship destined to change both men--and the lands of the Drenai--forever. " Gemmell's] fiction has always carried the genuine flair ofthe classic sword and sorcery pieces of the 1930s and '40s. This installment is no exception."--Starlog "A multitude of good battle scenes . . . Readers will be carried along by the nonstop action and heroic characters."--Booklist
