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.

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!

A Brilliant and engaging story
