Publisher's Summary
Born in the storm that doomed his father, Connavar grows to manhood among the mist-covered mountains of Caer Druagh, where the Rigante tribe dwell in harmony with the land and its gods. But beyond the border, across the water, an evil force is gathering strength, an unstoppable force that will change the world beyond all recognition. Haunted by malevolent spirits and hunted by evil men, Connavar sets out on a spectacular mission to save his people.
From the master of the genre, this is a tale of love and honour, friendship and courage, as Gemmell explores the intriguing worlds of Celtic myth and earth magic.

surprise!
I have been a David Gemmell fan since I read Legend as a first run hardcover. I lost the ability to read in 1994 after brain surjury and tried audio books for 25 years, then I was given Knights of Dark Reknown on Audio disc. 4 books later a a friend found Audible for me & I lost myself in the Drenai. The first time I tried to listen to David Gemmell Sword in the Storm I quit because how could a woman do justice to a Gemmell story – I ask forgiveness for my prejudice, I WAS WRONG. This needed an excellent Narrator & Adjoa is, Siebenesc. Thank you.

An all-time favourite I could barely get through
Beautiful narration but I found the voices almost unbearable. I could honestly listen to the narrator all day, her voice is beautiful, and some of her intense scenes were deeply emotive but, my god, the dialogue was bad. This is my favourite book and I struggled to finish it. Riamfada’s voice in particular was appalling, nevermind the strange translyvanian tones of the men of Stone. I feel so rude writing this and maybe I’m out of line and perhaps my opinion is skewed by my love of the book but I won’t be downloading the rest.
I mean, I probably will.
Ah damn, of course I will.
To sum up: amazing story, beautiful narration, terrible voices.
