Book Information

Book Description:
Fierce and proud, the Rigante dwell deep in the green mountain lands, worshiping the gods of air and water, and the spirits of the earth. Among them lives a warrior who bears the mark of fate. Born of the storm that slew his father, he is Connavar, and tales of his courage spread like wildfire.
The Seidh--a magical race as old as time--take note of the young warrior and cast a malignant shadow across his life. For soon a merciless army will cross the water, destroying forever the timeless rhythms of life among the Rigante.
Swearing to protect his people, Connavar embarks on a quest that will take him into the heart of the enemy. Along the way, he receives a gift: a sword as powerful and deadly as the Seidh who forged it. Thus he receives a name that will strike fear into the hearts of friend and foe alike--a name proclaiming a glorious and bitter destiny . . .
Demonblade.

THis is the first book in the Rigant series and introduces you to the Rigante people and the first warrior/hero - Connavar. If you like a good quest, you will like this book and the three that follow it!

The characters are not too unbelievable, but not very engaging. Gemmell writes better stories than this. It's the beginning of a series that seems to sell well, so maybe the later books are more developed.

my favorite of the Rigante series by far! it's excellent, My friend recommended this book to me when I was out of fresh material, and I was hooked from the first word. This was my first trip into the fantasy genre.

This is one of the best fantasies I've read in a long time. From start to finish there was never a slow spot. It kept me up late finishing it.
