SYNOPSIS: “David Gemmell left us far too soon, passing away in July 2006, but his work continues to resonate with readers and writers alike. Its gritty sense of realism has seen Gemmel’’s stories sited as a pre-cursor of Grimdark; his canon remains as fresh and relevant as ever, an influence and inspiration for writers even to the current day.

To commemorate the 20th anniversary of his passing, twenty-one of the finest fantasy authors, with a host of awards between them, have gathered to write brand new stories in his honour.

THE IRON CODE:  “Never violate a woman, nor harm a child.  Do not lie, cheat or steal. These things are for lesser men.  Protect the weak against the evil strong and never allow thoughts of gain to lead you into the pursuit of evil.” – Druss the Legend.
