David Gemmell books are all a bit similar although this one, the first part of a series, is possibly a bit better with fewer battles. The main character, Sigarni, a huntress, finds herself propelled into a position of importance as an enemy threatens the Highlands in which she lives. Mystical forces are also at work and play an important part.
Gemmell fans should enjoy this and, as fantasy books go, this one is not bad at all but I won't be bothering with rest of the series.
