Chronicle Conducive To Books Stormrider (The Rigante #4)
One glorious spark, one moment of Rigante rebellion has ignited a revolution and forged a legend. In the mountains of the north, the outlaw leader known as Ravenheart waits, knowing the forces of the blackhearted Moidart will come, led by the brutal ruler’s only son, Stormrider. Unaware that the fate of the world lies in their hands, sworn enemies Ravenheart and Stormrider will be forced to unite—and face the vengeance of an ancient evil. For immense armies of darkness are advancing on the highlanders, and it seems as if nothing will stop them. They crush their victims with ease, until only a few thousand men stand before them, with no help in sight. But these are not ordinary men they face. They are clansmen, and more than that, they are Rigante. . . .Rating Based On Books Stormrider (The Rigante #4)

Sometimes like now I wonder if reading Gemmell is an extreme masochistic act. Finishing this I feel a great deal of despair and pain and only a little joy. So really read it, it's great.PS. Never thought I'd say this but the Moidart may be one of the best characters ever created.Out of all Gemmell's works this is one of the few books I didn't especially enjoy. While it is a reasonable Gemmell tale with some good characters the earlier Rigante books I feel are superior and much more memorable reads. It's another typical Gemmell story of characters in a seriously messed up situation but the underrated author has done it better on several other occasions.
I love David Gemmell novels and like most this one made me cry. It is full of heroes flawed and unsuspected. It is the final installment of the Rigante books telling the story of Stormrider and Ravenheart. It also is unusal for a fantasy novel, there is magic and swords, but there are also muskets and pistols. David Gemmell's novels can be a little formualic but that is not necessarily a bad thing. He writes heroic fantasy and does it well drawing you into the story and making you care about the

I love this series!!!
Don't let the cover art fool you - this is an amazing series.
The Rigante's tale comes to a conclusion in this book which brings to the forefront a new antagonist. Cernunnos, an ancient Seidh who desires the eradication of all humans. It is interesting that as the story moves farther into the future and magic has faded further away making it less and less available that the tales actually contain more magic.Connavar's epic saw only a spattering of healing and foresight. Some magical trinkets. By the time it reaches the end in which all the Seidh are
Every book in this series has amazed me with powerful characters and strong stories with meaning. The story of Kaelin Ring and Gaise Macon and all the others was just perfect. This fourth book brings the story of the Rigante to an end but you can see there was a whole other story that was waiting for him to write. A shame he didn't get to. This series will remain on the shelf for another read, someday soon. 5 Stars Every Gemmell book I have read has been excellent.
