Now, as an ancient evil threatens the Drenai heartlands, he returns.\u003cp\u003eA thousand years after they fell in battle, two heroes -- Druss and Skilgannon -- are revered throughout the war-torn lands of the Drenai where men and women live in abject fear of the Joinings, abominable meldings of man and beast, and of their mistress the dark sorceress known as the Eternal. None can stave off these ruthless foes. But what if the soul of a hero could be called back from the void, his bones housed again in flesh? An ancient prophecy foretold that Skilgannon would return in his people's darkest hour. To most, this is a foolish hope, but not so to Landis Kan. For years Kan searched for the tomb of Skilgannon the Damned. And at last, he found it, gathered up the bones and performed the mystic ritual.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut the reborn hero is an enigma; a young man whose warrior skills are blunted and whose memories are fragmented. This Skilgannon is a man out of time, marooned in a world as strange to him as a dream, remote from all he knew and loved. Or nearly all. Before bringing Skilgannon back, Landis Kan had experimented with other bones in the hero's tomb. That ritual resulted in a surly giant who possessed astounding strength, but no memories. To Kan, he is a dangerous failure. To Skilgannon, this giant represents their last hope. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs the ageless evil of the Eternal threatens to drown the Drenai lands in blood, two legendary heroes rise again.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDavid Gemmell's first novel, \u003ci\u003eLegend\u003c\/i\u003e has become a classic of heroic fantasy.
