Description
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 artefacts of an ancient race, learn the true story of the ghostly Dwenda, and follow three old friends as they face their greatest test yet.

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
The Dark Defiles is praised as the best in its series, with Richard Morgan constructing a captivating and gritty world. The book is noted for its intricate examination of heroism, portraying protagonists as complex individuals rather than traditional heroes or anti-heroes. Through their struggles, Morgan suggests that heroes rarely achieve a fairy-tale ending.
