In Hero in the Shadows, Waylander, the assassin hero of some of Gemmell's
earlier books, is now a middle-aged man looking for peace in a world that
will, for the most part, let him alone. The crimes of his past come back
to haunt him, as he finds himself responsible for a young prince whose
grandfather he murdered, and as creatures of doomed legend come back to
rule the world with blood and horror. An aging paladin, a loud-mouthed
braggart whom a magic sword has chosen, and a kitchen girl who is
unusually handy with her knives become his allies, along with a priestess
who is not telling all she knows, or all she is.
