White Wolf: A Novel of Druss the Legend - by David Gemmell

This is the fourth Gemmell book I read, and so far is the one I loved most. 

Comparing to the earlier work of Gemmell, this one shows a more mature writing style and more complicated character building. As the other reviewers had said, in this book, heroes are not perfect, but heavily weighted by his own wrong-doing in the past. 

Characters in this book are very carefully portrayed and were put there for a purpose. Every story, every deed have both sides. Gemmell tells the other side of the same story. 

A lot of new materials that did not appear in earlier Gemmell's work are here. Besides love, friendship and heroism, we see age, guilt, vengeance etc. 

The main character of this book is not Druss though (if you expected it that way), but a younger and darker character called Skilgonnon. I am sure you will like him too. 

To conclude, a must have if you like Gemmell.
