A
MASTERLY
TALE
TOLD
WITH
CLARITY
AND
VERVE.???
???The
Times
(London)
The
Avatars
are
immortal
and
live
like
kings???even
though
the
empire
is
dying.
Their
immortality
is
guaranteed
by
magic
crystals
whose
influence
is
now
waning,
overwhelmed
by
the
sheer
power
of
a
great
flood
and
a
sudden
ice
age.
But
when
two
moons
appear
in
the
sky,
and
the
ruthless
armies
of
the
Crystal
Queen
swarm
across
the
land
bringing
devastation
and
terror,
the
Avatars
unite
with
their
subjects
to
protect
their
universe.
As
the
cities
face
imminent
destruction,
three
heroes
emerge.
Talaban,
a
warrior
haunted
by
tragedy;
Touchstone,
the
mystic
tribesman
seeking
his
lost
love;
and
Anu,
the
Holy
One,
the
Builder
of
Time.
And
when
all
seems
lost,
two
others
enter
the
fray:
Sofarita,
the
peasant
girl
who
will
inspire
a
legend,
and
the
madman,
Viruk,
who
will
become
a
god.

Author
Biography:
David
Gemmell
was
born
in
London,
England,
in
the
summer
of
1948.
Expelled
from
school
at
sixteen,
he
became
a
bouncer
by
night,
working
at
nightclubs
in
Soho.
Born
with
a
silver
tongue,
Gemmell
rarely
needed
to
bounce
customers,
relying
on
his
gift
of
gab
to
talk
his
way
out
of
trouble.
This
talent
eventually
led
to
a
job
as
freelancer
for
the
London
Daily
Mail,
Daily
Mirror,
and
Daily
Express.
His
first
novel,
Legend,
was
published
in
1984
and
has
remained
in
print
ever
since.
He
became
a
full-time
writer
in
1986.
His
books
consistently
top
the
London
Times
bestseller
list.
