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-hand. 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.… (mer)
Nacido sin Magia, Joram es uno de los Muertos. Durante varios años vive entre proscritos, subsistiendo gracias a su ingenio y a sus habilidades. Poseedor del secreto de la piedra oscura, decide regresar al reino encantado de Merilon para reclamar sus derechos al trono. En el camino, un encuentro fortuito, o quizá no tan fortuito, le proporciona no sólo un poderoso aliado, sino también la oportunidad de aprender algo sobre el manejo de las espadas. Ahora ya está preparado para hacer frente a su destino. En Merilon le aguardan el amor en la persona de la dulce Gwendolyn y su feroz enemigo, el Patriarca Vanya, con su ejército de siniestros “Duuk-tsarith”. Acompañado por el catalista Saryon, por el joven mago Mosiah y por el embustero y vividor Simkin, Joram descubrirá el terrible misterio de su origen y la existencia de una antigua profecía que pone el destino del mundo en sus manos, las mismas manos que forjaron la Espada Arcana.
So you all thought Edward, from that wretched Twilight, was the original Dark and Moody"?
Joram, and the little innocent girly, are the gag-worthy successor of Romeo and Juliet, and the precursors of Edward and Bella.
The story overall screams "Generic Fantasy". So you'll enjoy it but not be blown away. Kind of like a hamburger at McDonalds. It is "food". Good thing this is only a trilogy." ( )
This was the second complete trilogy we read by this author. It's a downer - almost Thomas Covenant depressing - but I remember liking it quite a bit. Like Tom the Leper, I never wanted to read it again, although I still have it around just in case. ( )
I really have not read a Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman book that I have not liked and this series is right on point. I read these books back some years ago in middle school but re-reading them now I am really enjoying them. Simkin would have to be my favorite character but they are all well developed and the plot and storyline are fabulous. Ready to start the third one now and just found out there was a fourth one realeased ten years after these were so gotta find that one too. ( )

Then, humming to himself, Simkin disappeared into the evening, leaving the statue to stand in aweful solitude on the silent shore, the orange banner fluttering from its neck; a tiny flicker of flame in the gathering gloom.
Luego, canturreando para sí, Simkin desapareció en el atardecer, dejando la estatua sobre la silenciosa orilla en medio de aquella horrible soledad, con el pañuelo naranja revoloteando en su cuello como un estandarte: una diminuta llama en la creciente oscuridad.
