About David Gemmell Legend Awards
The David Gemmell Awards for Fantasy, established in memory of David Gemmell, were awarded from 2009 to 2018. In 2009, only the Legend Award for best fantasy novel was awarded. Beginning in 2010 the Morningstar Award for best fantasy newcomer and the Ravenheart Award for best fantasy cover art were added. The award was closed in 2019. The awards were for fantasy novels in the traditional, heroic, epic or high genres, or in the spirit of Gemmell's own work.
