Story
The prophecy was clear. Upon the death of three kings, the world will be plunged into chaos, and all the cast-out demons of history will return to bring blood and horror to the world. Two of the kings are dead. The third, about to be born, is hunted by the Demon Riders of the Krayakin, Lords of the Undead. All the terrifying forces of evil range against a pregnant queen at bay in a haunted forest. But she is not alone. Three warriors stand with her, the last remnants of the once proud Drenai army.

Publisher's Summary
The Drenai fortress of Dros Delnoch has fallen, and blood-hungry Nadir hordes sweep across the land, bringing desolation and despair. But with the Nadir triumphant, slavers seize a young girl in the tiny realm of Gothir, and a peasant boy steps off on a quest that will shake the world.
To rescue her, Kiall must cross the savage steppes and journey through the Halls of Hell, facing ferocious beasts, deadly warriors and demons of the dark.
But the boy is not alone. With him are the legendary heroes of Bel-Azar: Chareos the Blademaster, Beltzer the Axeman and the bowmen Finn and Maggrig.
And one among them hides a secret that could free the world of Nadir domination. For he is the Nadir Bane, the hope of the Drennai.
He is the Earl of Bronze.

Quest is brilliant and funny and touching.
Such a great story, with characters I fell in love with - again. David Gemmel is one of my all time favorite authors. His characters always become like long lost friends that you want to hang out with and hear all about their adventures while sitting in a tavern with a tankard or two or three of ale.

David Gemmell is a gem of a writer
Sean Barrett narrates very well and helps to give Gemmell's books justice. I have listen to all 4 Drenai books so far and in order and will look forward to listen to the 5th. All are super books, listen to them in order. I suffer from dyslexia and find it hard to read books. Thanks to Audible for letting me discover this author you will not be disappointed!.

The Ghosts-yet-to-be ride again
Classic , Gemmell. The highest praise you can give in this genre. Performance is good and allows the story to unfold in centre stage right to the end .... some author's write well but struggle to give a satisfying ending; David Gemmell always delivers at the denouement and this is another example. A great joy to finally have these magical books available on Audible.

I love this book and is in my top 5.
I can't get enough of his work. I have read this and all of his books over and over again, and getting to listen to them at work or when doing diy or just when chilling is such a pleasure.
it is well read and I feel a little sad that I finished it in less than a day but I just couldn't turn it off.
Well I'm off to start another of his book now.
I hope you all enjoy this book as much as I did.

A trailblazer of soulful and savage fantasy, masterfully read. I was moved to tears on several occasions, and on others it fired my blood. Sort of left wondering how to follow this up - more Gemmell. Gemmell is the way!
