Summary

Beyond Wolf in Shadow to an earlier layer in David Gemmell's fantasy of the Sipstrassi Stones: rebellion and invasion plunge Britannia into the Dark Ages. Chaos and terror stalk the land, the King slain by traitors, the great Sword of Power vanished beyond the Circle of Mist. Saxons, Angles, Jutes and Brigante tribesman mass together to destroy the realm, aided by the powers of the Witch Queen and the Lord of the Undead.

Against them stand a weakling boy and an old mountain warrior. But the boy has the blood of kings, and the warrior is Culain, the legendary Lord of the Lance. And he alone knows the dread secret of the Witch Queen.

another excellent book

I have now read all of David Gemmels books and he is just an amazing story teller. The narrator is excellent. If you love David Gemmell's stories you will enjoy this series and if you have never heard of David Gemmell you are in for a treat.

Another ripping yarn from Gemmel & Rodska.

A very good yarn and the narration was good too. However I've just been on a Waylander, Druss and Skilgannon bender..This audiobook is bound to suffer a bit in comparison. still great though.

Solid Gemmell, worth a listen but not his best.

Good story we'll told. I struggled to like the main character. That said, I still love Gemmell.
