Hluboko v zelených hornatých krajích Rigantů leží osada Tři Potoky, jejíž lidé vzývají bohy vzduchu a vody a duchy země. Mezi nimi žije chlapec, jehož osud je vepsán do světla hvězd. Je to Connavar, Přízrak, zrozený v bouři, jež zničila jeho otce.Muž s příslibem velikosti má vždy nepřátele, a již na začátku této epické kroniky je předpovězeno, že vojsko z Kamene jednoho dne přepluje moře... a že jeho příchod bude jako lavina. Tady hrají svou určenou úlohu ty nejzvláštnější síly, moudré i zlé - od strašného generála a zlovolné Morrigu po lesy, jejichž kouzla sahají až do časů před příchodem člověka na svět.Toto je David Gemmell v té nejlepší formě; v epickém příběhu o odvaze, lásce a obětování, prokazuje své pověstné vypravěčské kouzlo.

V prvním dílu epické trilogie David Gemmell kombinuje pronikavě živoucí popisy s bohatstvím historických detailů v nepřekonatelném, dech beroucím díle lásky a nenávisti, ctižádosti i soupeření, míru i války. Tři životy změní osudy národů. Helikáón, mladý princ z Dardanie, pronásledovaný trýznivým a traumatickým dětstvím, kněžka Andromacha, jejíž ohnivá povaha a nezávislost ohrožují moc králů, a legendární válečník Argurios, ovládaný pouze myšlenkami na pomstu. V Troji naleznou město rozpolcené ničivým soupeřením - smršť žárlivostí, klamů a smrtících zrad. A za pověstnými trojskými zdmi pošilhávají krvežíznivé oči nepřátel po bohatství města a plánují jeho pád. Nastal čas statečnosti i zrady, čas krveprolévání a strachu, čas hrdinů!

2. vydáníPřízraky minulosti jsou blízko v epickém příběhu, který začíná prohlášením mladého muže: "Vyřiď mu, že jednou mu vyříznu to jeho ohavné srdce z těla." Mluvčím je Rheg, toulavý vlk, žijící mimo zákon, známý jako bastard Rheg - i když tohle mu nikdo do obličeje neřekne. Zrozený ze zrady, jeho jméno je nadávkou, a vyrostl mezi bojovnými Riganty. Ti si cení jeho umění bojovat, ale bojí se násilí v jeho srdci.V sedmnácti letech se samozvaný vyhnanec Rheg vydá do krysího hnízda, jež podle některých představuje vše, co je věčné a svaté: do Velkého města Kamene. Tady, kde si gladiátoři vydělávají na chléb zabíjením, kde učení a kultura zakrývají vnitřní zkázu a zkaženost, vytvořili rudí kněží hrůzovládu; zplodili dost nenávisti a zloby, aby vydržela několik století. A přesto tu trpící Stromový kult, vedený záhadnou Dámou se závojem, hlásá svou filozofii lásky a harmonie.Bastard Rheg nyní touží po pomstě a připravuje se k bitvě, která zničí mýtus Kamene. Dny krve se blíží a tento syn neporaženého krále-válečníka - Connavara, slavného Přízraku - musí bojovat, aby zachránil svůj svět.Půlnoční sokol je pokračováním podmanivého příběhu Rigantů, který začal Mečem v bouři, a potvrzuje, že David Gemmell je jedním z nejpůsobivějších současných autorů hrdinské fantasy.
