Editorial Reviews

Review

'Set aside an otherwise free afternoon before you read Waylander II, because once you start you will not want to stop' STARBURST 'David Gemmell manages to take a familiar, generic scenario and infuse it with meaning...it's a thoughtful genre fantasy, a bit chewier than most, and quite, quite tasty' LOCUS

You must read Waylander's story in the Drenai series. He's the perfect non-hero hero! Reluctant but with morals. Nothing else to say but Awesome: Waylander, Waylander II: In The Realm of the Wolf, Waylander III: Hero in the Shadows.

4.0 out of 5 stars Super Reader, August 26, 2007

The second Waylander book is in reality a little more about his adopted daughter Miriel.

Karnak and others decide to dispose of Waylander the Slayer, and send assassins and men to kill him. A mistake, as he has trained his daughter well, and two other warriors end up fighting with him.

Thrown into the mix are a Nadir shaman and his plans for the coming of the Uniter of the tribes.

Everyone must also worry about the Dark Brotherhood.

High in the mountains of Skein, the woodsman Dakeyras and his beautiful daughter Miriel live a life of harmonious solitude. Unbeknown to them, a group of warriors stalk the mountains. Men who have never known defeat, to whom revenge and torture are meat and drink. For ten thousand in gold they intend to kill the woodsman.

Battle-hardened warriors, they have no fear of this task - but they should have. For Miriel is a woman of fire and iron. Skilled with bow and blade, she was taught her skills by one of the deadliest killers of all time...
Her father. A woodsman better known as Waylander the Slayer.
