RAVENHEART A Novel of the Rigante By David Gemmell Corgi (Transworld) - April 2002 ISBN: 0552146757 - Paperback Fantasy Reviewed
by Rachel A Hyde, MyShelf.com David Gemmell is back
with this third volume in his Rigante series. It is now eight hundred
years since the events in the last novel and a different world, for where
once brave Connovar and Bane vanquished the armies of Stone, his once-proud
people now live under the unresisting heel of the Varlish. Forbidden to
take part in their conquerors' world, they are despised, and their culture
now only exists in tatters, but some brave souls keep the fires burning
- the gigantic Jaim Grymauch, for example, who has the strength and valor
to take on an army and with a heart the size of the mountains, and his
young cousin Kaelin Ring who wants to follow in his uncle's footsteps.
But reviving cattle and getting into fistfights in bars isn't what will
win the Rigante back their lands and their pride
