The Knight of Swords — Michael Moorcock

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!
