The First Chronicles Of Druss The Legend by David Gemmell introduces Druss, a character who is both the legend and saviour of Skeln Pass, as well as the protector of Dros Delnoch. Renowned and feared, Druss is one of Drenai's most iconic heroes.

Yet, before his fame, Druss was a young husband, more often found hewing trees than battling foes, his fiery spirit tempered by his beloved wife, Rowena. However, when Rowena is captured by slavers, Druss's world is torn apart, transforming him into a relentless force focused solely on one goal: Rowena's return.
