Description
Book Synopsis''THE HARD-BITTEN CHAMPION OF BRITISH HEROIC FANTASY'' - Joe Abercrombie
''HEROISM AND HEARTBREAK . . . GEMMELL IS ADRENALINE WITH SOUL'' - Brent Weeks
A country in desperate need of heroes . . .
Angostin invaders surge through the Highlands, laying waste to everything in their path. Darkness follows in their wake as a mad necromancer resurrects the eons-dead Vampyre Kings.
Only the bandit Jarek Mace, and the magicker and bard Owen Odell, have the courage to fight the Angostins and the undead. Whispers soon spread that Mace is the legendary Morningstar, a saviour who will protect his country in its hour of need. Yet Mace seems nothing more than a thief and a liar.
As the final battle approaches, Odell wonders which of the two Maces will triumph: the self-serving rogue or the saviour of his people, the Morningstar.
