Publisher's Summary

Compared to Michael Moorcock and Joe Abercrombie alike, Richard Morgan's fast-moving and brutal science fantasy reaches its final volume as Ringil comes to his final reckoning and sees the world tipping into another war with the dragon folk. And, most terrifying of all, the prophecy of a dark lord come to rule may be coming true very close to home....

The Dark Defiles is a supremely fast-moving 240,000 word epic. A massive-yet-tight story that both shines a light on some mysteries from earlier volumes and reveals deeper mysteries yet. We encounter the artifacts of an ancient race, learn the true story of the ghostly Dwenda and follow three old friends as they face their greatest test yet.

Fantastic

Dark and emotional with a fascinating world that isn't just your usually fantasy setting. The range of characters is exceptional with each being distinctly unique with their own depths. Vance does a wonderful job, I have listened to this book multiple times now and it still stands as one of my favourite audio books.

Strongly recommend!

Not a fan of gay porn

The story is really good and well written. The reading performance is exceptional. The hero is gay, which is fine, but the explicit sex is confronting and unnecessary.
