Darksword Volume 2 - Doom of the Darksword

Born without magic, Joram was one of the Dead, denied the throne of
Merilon. For years, he lived among outlaws, surviving by wit and sleight-of-h-
and. Now, wielding the powerful, magic absorbing Darksword, Joram retums
to the enchanted Kingdom that once was his home to win revenge and
claim his birthright. Here he will test Bishop Vanya and his fierce
army of Duuk-tsarith in a battle unlike any their world has known.
Joined by the scholarly catalyst Saryon, the young mage Mosiah, and
the trickster Simkin, Jorma confronts the shattering secret of his
past and discovers the ancient prophecy that puts the fate of the world
in his hands--the hands that forged the Darksword.
