Summary
The final story of Waylander, available in audio for the first time.
Thousands of years ago, the city of Kuan Hador - a place steeped in evil - was defeated by a vast army of mystic warriors, the enemy banished beyond the gateway between worlds.
Spells of enormous power sealed the gateway. Now, in the Duchy of Kydor, 2,000 miles from the lands of the Drenai, icy mists begin to form around the ruins of Kuan Hador. Awesome beasts stalk the hills and forests. The spells are fading, the days of blood drawing nearer.
Beyond the gateway the vengeful armies of Kuan Hador await. And where years before a host stood against the enemy, now only a handful of warriors prepare to face it once more: Kysumu the Swordsman, last of a dying breed; Yu Yu Liang, the ditch digger; Ustarte, the Beast-Priestess; and the mysterious Waylander.
Together they must solve an ancient mystery that will bring the dead to life for a final battle outside time. But first Waylander must find a way to kill a man who cannot die.
Read by Sean Barrett.

A fitting conclusion for Waylander
I read this in paperback some years ago and loved it then. Brought to life by a great narration, it is a classic tale of good and evil, heroes and demons, told as it should be.

A Masterpiece from one of the fathers of heroic fantasy.
Thrilling conclusion to Waylander’s journey. Masterful characterisations, heroic sacrifice, etc.. All delivered by the incomparable Sean Barrett.

Brilliant!
I have to say this final story about Waylander is great, there are points where it seems like the main character is amazing in every way however if you love the story you can get past this endless hero worship. The ending for me is just right, bitter yet sweet as I am not fond of an unhappy ending yet find happy one's too easy.

A satisfying mix of action, story and delivery
I've listened to hundreds of audiobooks and this is as good as any, maybe the best I've heard. The narrator is excellent, the author has created characters that you care about, and there are enough twists to keep you wanting to hear more. As others have said, the conclusion is deeply satisfying
