Fall of Kings
by David Gemmell, Stella Gemmell
On the killing fields outside the golden city of Troy, forces loyal to the Mykene King mass. Among them is Odysseus, fabled storyteller and reluctant ally to the Mykene, who knows that he must soon face his former friends in deadly combat.
Within the city, the Trojan king waits. Ailing and bitter, his hope is pinned on two heroes: his favourite son Hektor, and the dread Helikaon who will wreak terrible vengeance for the death of his wife at Mykene hands.
War has been declared — a war filled with bloodlust, and peopled by heroes who will live forever in a story that will echo down the centuries.
"A rousing conclusion for fans of the previous volumes - but not one for the purists." - Kirkus Reviews.
