Relation Supposing Books Ravenheart (The Rigante #3)
Eight hundred years have passed since King Connavar of the Rigante and his bastard son, Bane, defeated the invading army of Stone. Now the Rigante have lost the freedom and culture so many gave their lives to preserve. Only one woman remains who follows the ancient ways–the Wyrd of Wishing Tree Wood–and she alone knows the nature of the evil soon to be unleashed. But the Wyrd pins her hope on two men: a giant Rigante fighter, a man haunted by his failure to save his best friend from betrayal; and a youth whose deadly talents will earn him the rancor of the brutal Varlish. One will become the Ravenheart, an outlaw leader whose daring exploits will inspire the Rigante. The other will forge a legend–and light the fires of revolution. . . .Describe Books During Ravenheart (The Rigante #3)

I've read at least some of the writings from the major and minor fantasy writers and while I know Gemmell's writing style may not be the most polished, he is still my favorite author in this genre. While some things can be repetitive in some of his books, it never seems to get old. Also, I have to admit that while I'm not really a crier when it comes to books, especially ones that were written with the intent to make the reader cry, some sections of Gemmell's books (especially Ravenheart) justOutstanding ! Set 800years after the first two Rigante books Ravenheart may have a totally new cast but all the characters have a welcome familiarity. I would say that this is epic fantasy by way of Rob Roy and the Western. Highly recommended and my favourite of the series so far.
I loved this story. I really like Kaelen. The blood continues true in him and while he has a temper and some flaws in his character, I find them a lot more acceptable as an aspect of his youth and his strengths are impressive. My favourite character in this story however may actually be Grymauch - a man to match the mountains for sure. This book in the series has less of the warfare but the fighting is still captivating and the additional depth of characters make this story what it is - Shadder
The third book in the Rigante series. It takes place 800 years after the events of the first two books but involved descendants of the original characters. Very fine book from start to end. Calls up thoughts of Braveheart and William Wallace. Great writing as always.
The third book in the Rigante series takes place some 800 years after the events of its predecessors and brings with it a stark change for the Keltoi people. Their land has been conquered and much of the book focuses on the withering oppression they suffer as an occupied people.Gemmell does a wonderful job of making the people feel stifled and presenting a realistic clarity to the pure and blind ignorance people are willing to embrace to get what they want. Racisms, cultural spite, and
Book 3 (of 4) in the Rigante series, moving the events on some centuries after those of "Sword in the Storm" and "Midnight Falcon". I think it's generally accepted that the Rigante are Gemmell's equivalent of the Scots, and that this book and its subsequent sequel are his interpretation of the wars fought by the Scottish Highlanders against the invading English (whereas the earlier two books were more like their wars against Rome). As in most of his works, the novel deals with the notions of
Glad I started reading David Gemmel, especially this series. Great series and hooked on David Gemmel now.
