    About Hero in the Shadows

    The ruined city of Kuan Hador reeks of dark mystery. Shunned by brigands and merchants alike, it is home to fearsome wild things and legends that freeze the blood–tales that speak of slavering white beasts, locked behind a powerful wall of spells, who possess an insatiable appetite for death. Millennia have passed since they were bound, and the spell of imprisonment has begun to fade. Soon the foul minions will be free to wreak a horrible vengeance against all that lives.

    But no army waits to oppose them, only a ragtag group of unlikely heroes. Leading them is the mysterious Gray Man, an enigmatic figure with a blood-drenched past who has killed for principle and for payment–a man of destiny known throughout the lands of the Drenai as Waylander the Slayer . . .

    Praise

    "Everything a fan of heroic fantasy could desire."
    –STEPHEN DONALDSON

    "I am truly amazed at David Gemmell’s ability to focus his writer’s eye. His images are crisp and complete, a history lesson woven within the detailed tapestry of the highest adventure. Gemmell’s characters are no less complete, real men and women with qualities good and bad, placed in trying times and rising to heroism or falling victim to their own weaknesses."
    –R. A. SALVATORE
       Author of Mortalis

    "Gemmell is very talented; his characters are vivid and very convincingly realistic."
    –CHRISTOPHER STASHEFF
       Author of the Wizard of Rhyme novels
