David Gemmell tells a tale of very real adventure, the stuff of true epic fantasy.--R. .. . .
Thus begins David Gemmell\'s most celebrated novel--an unrivaled classic of mythic heroism and magnificent adventure.
He is Druss the Legend.
And he is a hero to inspire a new generation of warriors.
Lost causes mean nothing to him--he has fought in such battles a thousand times in a thousand lands.
Reluctantly Druss agrees to come down from his mountaintop to lead this last, hopeless fight.
If it does, the Nadir will sweep inexorably across the land, killing all who oppose them.
All that stands between them and the Drenai people is a mighty six-walled fortress, Dros Delnoch--a great citadel that seems destined to fall.
But far below, the barbarian Nadir hordes are on the march.
There he awaits his old enemy: death.
But Druss himself grows older, until finally, the warrior turns his back on glory and retreats to his mountain lair.
Tales of his battles are told throughout the land, and the stories expand with each telling.
Salvatore Druss, Captain of the Ax, is the stuff of legends.
