For a game, the gods have given the world 12 Swords of Power so that they might be amused as the nations battle for their possession. But Vulcan the Smith has had his own little joke: the Swords can kill the gods themselves. What started out as Divine Jest has become all too serious as the gods fight to recover the Swords, and mortals discover that the mantle of power is more delicious and more terrible than anything they could have imagined.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 482
When Michael Moorcock began chronicling the adventures of the albino sorcerer Elric, last king of decadent Melniboné, and his sentient vampiric sword, Stormbringer, he set out to create a new kind of fantasy adventure, one that broke with tradition and reflected a more up-to-date sophistication of theme and style. The result was a bold and unique hero: a rock-and-roll antihero who would channel all the violent excesses of the '60s into one enduring archetype.

Thomas Covenant is a leper, a bitter and solitary pariah who is mystically transported to another Earth where time moves differently than ours, one in which magic takes many forms. The Land is threatened by many evils, the most immediate of which is a maddened Cavewight whose subterranean excavations have unearthed the ancient and puissant Staff of Law. More dangerous to the free people of the Land is the Gray Slayer, Lord Foul, the Despiser, who intends to destroy the actual foundations of the Earth that he might wage war against the universe’s creator.

When the great red star Calamity appeared in the sky, some believed the end had come. They were right. Calamity created the Epics: humans with incredible powers they didn't deserve.

Jax has learned all of this the hard way. Orphaned at an early age, he's spent most of his childhood training to be a Reckoner - determined to find the Epics' weaknesses, unlock their secrets, and protect those of us who are still left.

poor narration
Audible should have picked a reader who can read. I am certain neither "calvary mount" nor "sentinent being" appear anywhere in the book. The reading is also over dramatic as for a preteen audience. Very annoying.

O Fortuna, velut luna statu variabiliis
No other sword of power fulfills its purpose better than the Sword of Luck. Conceived by the gods to make sport of humanity and forged by Vulcan for their divine entertainment, Coinspinner follows the fickle destiny for which it was created. Yet, with the old Olympians now passed from the scene, perhaps Coinspinner's object lessons are not always guided by the dictum, "Whom gods destroy they first raise up."
Coinspinner leaves many questions unanswered. I actually listened twice to the ending just to be sure I didn't miss anything. Nope. Regardless of scabbard, whether finely wrought or rough-clothed, Coinspinner's true casing is enigma.
