I first read this book when it first was published and it was then one of my favouites. It brought to a thrilling conc;usion the story of Dorian Hawkmoon. I would then have recommended it very highly. I am about to start re-reading the Michael Moorcock ouevre, I hopr that these books live up to my fond memories
Also published as The Secret of the Runestaff. Revised edition in 1977.
"YOU SHALL DIE, DORIAN HAWKMOON, AND THEN I SHALL CLAIM THE RUNESTAFF!"
The race for the legendary blade is drawing to
its end. The Count of Sussex has carried his hostage, a radiant
boy-child, into the extraordinary city of the Runestaff – and Dorian
Hawkmoon is helpless. Armed with the Sword of the Dawn, a blade which no other man can wield
and live, Hawkmoon must summon the most barbaric of warriors – the
Legion of the Dawn. Now, by the blood of beast or foe, he vows to bring
his mission to its terrible resolution... whatever the cost!
