The King Beyond the Gate
 The King Beyond The Gate is a fantasy novel by David Gemmell. It was published in 1985. It was the second book published by Gemmell after Legend published a year earlier. The book is set in the same fictional world as Legend that of the Drenai but is not a sequel in the usual sense as the events of the two books take place around a century apart. Thus the main protagonists of Legend are long since dead and play little part in The King Beyond the Gate other than passing mentions.
