David Gemmell THE SWORDS OF NIGHT AND DAY First Edition
First edition, first print hardback of THE SWORDS OF NIGHT AND DAY, A Novel of Skilgannon the Damned, by David Gemmell and published by Bantam Press in 2004.The book is in very good condition (lightly soiled black boards and bright gold lettering on spine) with some minor wear to the dust jacket, which is not price clipped (rubbing and creasing to edges, bumping to corners, thumbnail closed tear at top of spine). Internally, the pages are clean and tight and there are no tears and no inscriptions, although there is a small doodle in black pen on the half title page. Slight spinal lean.
A thousand years after they fell in battle, two heroes - Druss and Skilgannon - are revered throughout the war-torn lands of the Drenai. Yet men and women live in abject fear of the Joinings, abominable meldings of man and beast, and of their mistress, the dark sorceress known as the Eternal.
But what if the soul of one such hero could be called back from the void, his bones housed again in flesh? An ancient prophecy foretold that Skilgannon would return in his people's darkest hour. To most, this was a foolish hope. But not so to Landis Kan. As the power of the Eternal grew, Kan searched for the tomb of Skilgannon the Damned. And at last he found it, gathering up the bones and performing the mystic ritual.
But the reborn hero is an enigma: a young man whose warrior skills are blunted and whose memories are fragmented. This Skilgannon is a man out of time, marooned in a world as strange to him as a dream, remote from all he knew and loved. Or nearly all. Before bringing Skilgannon back, Landis Kan had experimented upon other bone fragments found in the hero's tomb. That ritual resulted in a surly giant who possessed astounding strength but no memories. To Kan, he is a dangerous failure. To Skilgannon, this giant represents their last hope.
As the ageless evil of the Eternal threatens to drown the Drenai lands in blood, two legendary heroes will once again lead the way to freedom.
