Order of Drenai Saga Books

British author David Gemmell crafted the Drenai Saga, a captivating heroic fantasy series set in the nation of Drenai. This epic collection chronicles the rich history of the country, weaving together pivotal historical events with the stories of its diverse inhabitants across generations.

At the heart of the saga stand three legendary figures: Waylander the Slayer, Druss the Legend, and Skilgannon the Damned. The series explores not only their individual journeys but also delves into their ancestral lines and descendants, creating an intricate tapestry of interconnected stories.

Gemmell launched the Drenai Saga in 1984 with Legend (also known as Against the Horde), though chronologically within the series timeline, Waylander (published in 1986) serves as the earliest tale. The complete saga spans 11 novels, reaching its conclusion with The Swords of Night and Day in 2004. The enduring popularity of the series led to Legend being transformed into a graphic novel adaptation by Stan Nicholls.
