The First Book of Lost Swords : Woundhealer's Story

by Fred Saberhagen

Overview

Swords of Power, treacherous dealings, a search for healing, a menacing giant worm, a mermaid, an infatuated young boy, a desperate father, an extraordinary young child, a way of wonder and magic —

Once the gods forged twelve Swords of Power, but they forged too well: The Swords could kill the gods themselves.
Now, the gods gone, the Swords scattered across the land and Mark, Prince Consort of Tasavalta, must find Woundhealer, the Sword of Healing, to help his young son Adrian.
But the evil wizard Burslam has joined with Mark’s enemy, Baron Amintor, stealing Woundhealer and luring Mark’s nephew Zoltan away — only to have Zoltan begin his own dangerous quest.

Editorial Reviews

I remember reading WoundHealer years ago - it was a terrific read, I thought it was the best of the Sword books. It could easily stand on its own as a movie (not kidding - and I would definitely pay to see it).

I was a fan of the entire series but WoundHealer was the one that really had a magical feeling to it - in fact, I think I'll read it again after I finish Ardneh's Sword - which I just started :) !!

M. Diener

An adventure that benefits greatly from Saberhagen’s narrative skills as the various strands leapfrog forward, keeping the reader off balance but constantly intrigued
