Synopsis

Prince Corum has defeated the Chaos Lord Arioch. But any peace for him and his faithful Rhalina is brief. His actions have evoked the murderous anger of Arioch's sister, the dreaded Xiombarg.

The Prince in the Scarlet Robe must continue his odyssey, face the terror of the Mabden armies, and challenge the might of the Queen of the Swords. Faced with immense powers of evil on all sides, only the legendary City of the Pyramid offers a glimmer of hope. But Corum must get there first, and along the way he will encounter horrifying creatures, strange forms of sorcery, and new planes of existence.

My first time reading this since my teenage years in the 1980s. While it wasn’t as powerful or as flawless as I recall it being, I still find myself powerfully moved by the struggle of Corum, the mythical hero who longs for the peace and innocence lost yet knows he will never truly find it; his life......more
