British author David Gemmell has written many bestselling novels in three series, The Drenai Saga, The Stone of Power Cycle, and The Rigante Epic. Even though these novels are interconnected within each series, Gemmell strives to write each book as a stand alone novel, providing a complete story in each book. The Drenai Saga features the author's two most popular characters, Druss the Legend and Waylander the Slayer. There are also three other novels in this series which don't feature these characters but take place in the Drenai world.
