Synopsis

Eight hundred years have passed since King Connavar of the Rigante and his bastard son, Bane, defeated the invading army of Stone. Now the Rigante have lost the freedom and culture so many gave their lives to preserve. Only one woman remains who follows the ancient ways–the Wyrd of Wishing Tree Wood–and she alone knows the nature of the evil soon to be unleashed. But the Wyrd pins her hope on two men: a giant Rigante fighter, a man haunted by his failure to save his best friend from betrayal; and a youth whose deadly talents will earn him the rancor of the brutal Varlish. One will become the Ravenheart, an outlaw leader whose daring exploits will inspire the Rigante. The other will forge a legend–and light the fires of revolution. . . .

About this title

From the Back Cover:

“SOLID, ENTERTAINING FANTASY SET IN A METICULOUSLY CRAFTED WORLD CREATED BY A MASTER STORYTELLER.”
–SFX magazine

“[RAVENHEART] could nestle cozily next to Sir Walter Scott’s Rob Roy or The Lady of the Lake. . . . [It] will thrill Gemmell’s current fans and bring more readers into his fold with this tale of heroes and villains who are larger than life, yet still painfully human.”
–Starlog

About the Author:

David Gemmell was born in London, England, in the summer of 1948. Expelled from school at sixteen, he became a bouncer by night, 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. This talent eventually led to a job as 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. His books consistently top the London Times bestseller list.
