Publisher's summary

Druss. The Legend. Saviour of Skeln Pass. Protector of Dros Delnoch. The most famous - and dreaded - of Drenai's heroes.

But before all men knew Druss, he was a young husband, hewing tress instead of men - most of the time - and held in check by his beloved wife, Rowena. When she is stolen by slavers, Druss becomes a killing machine intent on only one thing: Rowena's return.

Druss origins

Gemmell is the 80’s-90’s fantasy goat.
His stories are incredible & every time I start one I finish it within a day or two. I just wish he was still around

A Brilliant and engaging story

If you've listened to Legend you know what Druss did to become legendary. This story, The First Chronicles, tells you how he did it. The characters are dynamic and entertaining while also being thoughtful. Having the poet be a kind of comic relief to Drusse’s gruff personality was my favorite part. It's a great book!

One of my favorites.

Dress is and has always been my favorite characters. I read these stories to my son years ago. I believe that have helped shape him into the wonderful man he has become. Thank you David Gemmell
