A thousand years after they fell in battle two heroes
- Druss & Skilgannon
- are revered throughout the war-torn lands of the Dernai where men & women live in abject fear of the dark sorceress known as the Eternal.. But what if the soul of one such hero could be called back from the void his bones housed again in flesh? An ancient prophecy foretold that Skilgannon would return in his peoples darkest hour. To most this was a foolish hope. But not so to Landis Kan. Having found Skilgannons ancient tomb he gathers up the bones & peforms the mystic ritual But the reborn hero is an enigma: a young man whose warrior skills are blunted & whose memories are fragmented. This Skilgannon is a man out of time Marooned in a world as strange to him as a dream remote from all he knew & loved. Or nearly all. Before bringing back Skilgannon Landis Kan had experimented upon other bone fragments found in the heros tomb. That ritual resulted in a surly giant who possessed astounding strength but no memories. To Kan he is a dangerous failure. To Skilgannon this giant represents their last hope As ageless evil threatens to drown the Drenai lands in blood two legendary heroes will once again lead the way to freedom
