Wayfinder's Story

Read Wayfinder's Story Storyline:

From Publishers WeeklyOne of 12 magical swords forged by the Gods, Wayfinder has the power to guide its possessor to whatever the seeker wants. Chance brings Wayfinder to Ben of Purkinje, who uses it to find Woundhealer, the sword with powers to cure the injured wife of Prince Mar of Sarykam. The evil magician Wood also wants the swords; his attack on Ben brings Mark, and even more swords, into the fray. Followers of the series--the fantasy equivalent of a space opera--will recognize almost all of the characters from earlier books, in which the villains start out with all the aces while the heroes struggle on through decency, intelligence and willpower to satisfying outcomes. Veteran Saberhagen ( Empire of the East ) keeps the plot moving, providing a pleasurable light reading experience. Copyright 1992 Reed Business Information, Inc. From Library JournalValdemar, a young grape grower, comes into the ownership of Wayfinder, a legendary sword that can lead its wielder to whatever he most desires. His journey in search of the perfect woman, however, takes strange turnings as Wayfinder's direction involves Valdemar in a battle against the world's most infamous wizard. Saberhagen's style is remarkable for its "no-frills" approach to fantasy. Simply told and continually engaging, this title is recommended where the series is popular.Copyright 1992 Reed Business Information, Inc.
