Legend is the classic Drenai novel from the British master of heroic fantasy, a powerful tale of courage and sacrifice in the face of overwhelming odds.

His name is Druss

The stories of his life are told everywhere. But the grizzled Drenai veteran has spurned a life of fame and fortune and retreated to the solitude of his mountain lair.

The fortress is Dros Delnoch

And it is the only route through the mountains for the invading army of the Nadir. The fortress was once the Drenai's greatest stronghold - now it will be their final battleground. And Druss their last hope.

Favorite Book Ever

The best book I have ever read. If you haven't read it, check it out.

The Gold Standard

David Gemmell's writing style appeals to me like no other, and I've read all his works in print. I searched Audible for Gemmell's works when I first joined, and it's fantastic that they are now coming to audiobook format.

For those unfamiliar with his work, start here with Legend. It is as good a sample of his work as anything else he's written, and you'll know quickly if you enjoy his pace and writing style. I do hope you enjoy his books as much as I have. Sean Barrett has done a good job of matching voices to characters.

Enjoyed this book

I have been reading fantasy books since childhood and don’t know how I missed this gem. Fun characters and solid story telling. Nothing new or revolutionary but solid fantasy fun.

A wonderful reading of a beloved childhood tale.

The narrattion was bardic with his delivery and intonation. 11 out of 10. Well done!

one of my favorite authors of all time

Probably his best book of all time. Have read and listened or several times over the years. wish I had found it earlier in my life
