The Fourth Book Of Lost Swords : Farslayer's Story

by Fred Saberhagen

Overview

Long, long ago, the Gods forged Twelve Swords of Power, each with a unique and deadly quality. They forged too well, for the swords could kill the Gods themselves. Then the swords were lost, scattered across the land; and many are they, both good and evil, who are desperate to find them again.

This story is of Farslayer, the sword that can kill from across an entire world. The game is fierce; the prize is the sword. The players are Black Pearl, an ensorcelled mermaid, and Cosmos her treacherous lover; Prince Zoltan and Prince Mark; the evil macrowizard Wood; and an enigmatic woman who arrives astride a griffin.

Editorial Reviews

Two rival families wage a war of attrition and vengeance for possession of "Farslayer," one of the 12 Lost Swords made by the gods and imbued with unearthly powers. A grim sense of fatality underlies the deceptive simplicity of the author's style in the latest volume of Saberhagen's popular fantasy series. Recommended.

A Reviewer

The magic behind Farslayer, the Sword of Vengeance, is certainly one of the most clever, deceptively simple powers of the Swords -- Saberhagen deserves a big pat on the back for this one. The delivery and follow-through add to the disturbing charm of this Sword.
