Bane of Giants
Synopsis
The Giants have returned. Harkandos has released the noktum over the continent, and that is only the opening move. To him, humans are cockroaches scuttling over the thrones of absent lords — lords who have now come home.
He has gathered a horde of Giants behind him, and their objective is stated plainly: kill any human who stands in the way, enslave whoever is left. One man is placed to stop him, and that man is Khyven the Unkillable.
The difficulty is that Harkandos has spent two thousand years preparing this revenge, and part of that preparation was learning how to kill the unkillable. Khyven, Lorelle, Rhenn and Vohn all stand ready to fight it out, but that is a handful of mortals against a force of godlike beings. This is the fifth and concluding book of Fahnestock's Legacy of Shadows.
