Waylander II: In The Realm of the Wolf: First published in 1992.
Synopsis: The eremitic woodsman, Dakyeras, lives quietly in the mountains with his daughter, Miriel, far from civilisation and the troubles of men. But Dakyeras harbours a great secret: in his previous life, he was the master-assassin, Waylander the Slayer, known and feared throughout the land and a contract on his life has been lodged with the Guild of Assassins and the hunter becomes the hunted, as trained killers seek his demise. Accompanied by a band of companions, Waylander finds himself drawn into a greater conflict involving his adversaries of old, the Dark Templars and embarking upon a quest to aid a beleaguered Nadir tribe from annihilation. The story explores Waylander’s past as a tortured soul and his ongoing quest for redemption for the regicide that defined his legendary status, as well as delving into the limited strengths and moral complexities of its characters, highlighting the struggle between good and evil within each of them.
