A dazzling epic fantasy of gods and demigods from the Grand Master hailed as “the greatest of all post-Tolkien fantasists” (Time Out).
The ancient races, the Vadhagh and the Nhadragh, are dying. By creating Mankind, the universe has condemned Earth to a pestilence of destruction and fear.
Prince Corum is the last survivor of the Vadhagh race and an incarnation aspect of the Eternal Champion—a being that exists in all worlds to ensure there is “Cosmic Balance” . . . He sets out on a crusade of vengeance against the forces that slaughtered his family and his race, to challenge the unjust power of the puppet masters of Man: the Lords of Chaos. Along the way he will barter with his soul for the limbs of gods to repair his mutilated body, and will encounter a member of the very race who caused the mutilation, the irresistible Rhalina.
The Knight of Swords is the first epic fantasy in the legendary Corum series by a true giant of the genre!
