Returning to the milieu of his Swords trilogy, Saberhagen offers a new scenario. The gods have withdrawn from the human world and the 12 Swords of Power they had forged are now scattered, lost and hidden. The weapons are still coveted, though, by men like Baron Amintor, who has lost one kingdom and now sees them as the means to another. No scruples stop him from stealing the sword Woundhealer from the White Temple, where its powers were offered to cure all pilgrims.

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.

Publisher's Summary

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 macro-wizard Wood; and an enigmatic woman who arrives astride a griffin.

Farslayer Hits the Mark

In the narrative voice of fables we follow the ill-omened career of Farslayer in a remote part of the world. Mischance follows upon mideeds as forces and eminences vie to possess the Sword of Vengeance. Saberhagen keeps you guessing right up the end who will possess the weapon that does not rest easily in its hilt.

If you have already been enchanted by the magic of Saberhagen's world, this Fourth Book will place you under its spell in spite of the not always well-voiced characters. This is a recording that would come across better if there were one male and one female reader. But, in the end, an engaging tale that rewards the time spent.

On to Number Five.
