|---|
"In another Drenai Saga book, Druss the Legend goes to a foreign city to be in an athletic competition, but some thugs paralyze another competitor who is Druss's friend. At the same time, a warrior of the Nadir, a fierce, tribalistic people, has come looking for gems that could save his race from the Gothir and have the power to heal. Druss goes with Talisman, the warrior, only to find that the Gothir have also set their eyes on the gems, and are sending an army to get them. And even he can rally the Nadir with Talisman, it turns out that obtaining the jewels could have terrible consequences for the Drenai and the world..."

"Druss was a legend in his own time, having fought and won innumerable battles over the sixty years of his life. However, his life was fast coming to an end, his wife had died, and he sought seclusion in the mountains far from the glory and riches that he could have enjoyed. However, far from his seclusion and fear, the Nadir warrior-king Ulric had united the fierce tribes and rampaged across the world, vanquishing one enemy after another, dreaming of building the greatest empire the world had ever since- upon the ashes of the old and stagnant Drenai Empire. He sensed that he had one last battle to fight at the fortress of Dros Delnoch, which guarded the mountain pass which Ulric needed to sweep across the world. Meanwhile, others such as Rek and Virae traveled to Dros Delnoch to participate in the coming battle, finding love in each other's arms. The defenders were outnumbered fifty to one, but surely Druss, the Drenai hero of forty years could inspire a new generation to greatness?"
