Stormrider concludes the tale of the Rigante. War and other-worldly magic combine in this heroic fantasy by the renowned author David Gemmell.
Centuries after Connavar's triumphant battles against the invading army of Stone gained the Rigante their freedom, the clan finds itself oppressed once again. Magic that once flourished has been all but snuffed out. The Varlish king and his barons have stolen Rigante lands and robbed the people of their culture and liberty.
From the Rigante's former seat of power, the black-hearted Moidart rules; only in the north are the clansmen free. There, in the Druagh mountains, the magic still reigns, strengthened by bold victories of the outlaw leader known as Ravenheart.
In the south, civil war has drenched the land in blood, and the armies of destruction are slowly creeping north where Ravenheart waits, knowing the forces of the hated Moidart will come, led by the brutal ruler's only son, Stormrider.
Ravenheart and Stormrider: enemies of uncommon courage, are unaware that the fate of the world lies in their hands. Faced with this inexorable advance, deadly foes will be forced to unite, and a secret lost in the uncharted past will return to haunt these two warriors as they face the vengeance of an ancient evil.
Immense armies of darkness advance on the highlanders, and it seems as if nothing will stop them. They crush their enemies with ease, until only a few thousand men stand before them. But these are not ordinary men they face. They are clansmen, and more than that, they are Rigante.
