Story
It is 300 years since the world toppled on its axis and civilisation was destroyed. In this savagely reshaped world ruled by brigands and war makers, a rider seeks a lost city. Pursuing a dream to calm the violence in his soul, Jon Shannow, the brigand slayer, desires only peace. But from the Plague Lands emerges a fresh terror. The Lord of the Pit and his hell-born army seek to plunge mankind into a new demonic era. Seemingly invincible, they make a fatal mistake: they take Shannow's woman for blood sacrifice.

Publisher's Summary
After the bloody battle of Colden Moor, the warlike highlanders had lost their independence. They lived in surly subservience to the Outlanders, and only a teenage girl survived to represent the line of kings: Sigarni.
Sigarni the silver-haired. Huntress, whore, princess. All of these she was called. But those who pierce the veil of the future knew that a leader was coming to the North - a leader descended from Ironhand, mightiest of the highland kings.

A kingdom for the right voice
If you could sum up Ironhand's Daughter in three words, what would they be?
Another fine David Gemmell tale (ok, that's five words)
What did you like best about this story?
While not the best of Gemmell's stories, this one is still riveting and quite entertaining. I especially like the sense of foreboding building up in the first half of the book.
Would you be willing to try another one of Adjoa Andoh’s performances?
I'd rather not, but I'm going to listen to the second book in this cycle as well. After that, count me out. Andoh just can't do accents and decent male voices at the same time. Also, the voice she's using to portray Sigarni sounds either like a scared thirteen-year old girl or a cackling 80-year old hag (no offense meant to either thirteen-year olds or old hags). Nothing suggests any of the various strengths the character should possess. Her normal voice on the other hand is quite pleasing, and this is one of the rare occasions when I would actually have been quite happy if that had been all she'd been using for her performance.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Because of the performance, no, I would not want to.

Wonderful story terrible story teller
absolutely hated the narrator for this book. David gemmel's wife needs to have this book re-recorded with a better narrator. this is one of my favorite David gemmell stories because of the female war hero, and it was butchered by the narrator and her awful voices. I'd rather read the book over again and I will avoid all of her narrations again

Who is the person who reads this???
This was one of the first Gemmell books I ever read.....only recently discovering audible and listening to all my old favourites.
Alas, I could not listen to this, I don’t know who this lady is that reads this, but whomever thought it was a good idea to get her to do so, needs to go sit in a dark corner somewhere.
She is a lovely person I’m sure but, in reading this story she is atrocious and I’ve heard better nails on blackboards.
