Only one woman remains who follows the ancient paths once trod by the Rigante. She is the Wyrd of Wishing Tree Wood -- and she alone knows of the evil soon to be unleashed. In a perilous land, facing an uncertain future, the Wyrd pins her hopes on two men. Jaim Grymauch, the giant Rigante fighter, is a man haunted by his failure to save his best friend from betrayal; and Kaelin Ring is a youth whose deadly talents will earn him the hatred of all Varlish. One will become the Ravenheart, an outlaw leader whose daring exploits will inspire the Rigante. The other will forge a legend -- and light the fires of revolution.

When it comes to action, high adventure, lush worlds, and vivid magic, bestselling author David Gemmell is the master. His ability to create mythic characters who rise up to become flesh and blood is very much in evidence in "Ravenheart".
