Prince Corum has defeated the Chaos Lord Arioch. But any peace for him and his faithful Rhalina is brief. His actions have evoked the murderous anger of Arioch’s sister, the dreaded Xiombarg. The Prince in the Scarlet Robe must continue his odyssey, face the terror of the Mabden armies, and challenge the might of the Queen of the Swords. Faced with immense powers of evil on all sides, only the legendary City of the Pyramid offers a glimmer of hope. But Corum must get there first, and along the way he will encounter horrifying creatures, strange forms of sorcery, and new planes of existence.

However Chaos will not allow the Eternal Champion any respite. Instead Arioch’s sister the Queen of the Swords Xiombarg is expected to destroy Corum, Rhalina and anyone allied with them.The Eternal Champion's companion Jhary the Conel warns Corum that he cannot rest on his laurels, but instead must take the fight to the Queen of the Swords to save his world. Thus Jhary, a weary Corum and Rhalina enter hellish regions where Chaos has superseded the order of Law; lands dominated by Xiombarg.The reprint of the enthralling middle Corum Eternal Champion sword and sorcery thriller is a Dante-like journey. The gripping freshness comes from the perilous trek into what Chaos has wrought though the confrontation is similar to that of the first novel.Harriet Klausner

By OpenBookSociety dot com Brought to you by OmarAfter the fight with the lord of Chaos Arioch who had control over five planes, one being where Corum is from- and the lord of law Arkyn returned to power, Corum has been trying to adapt to his life with Rhalina and the new hand and eye. From time to time, the hand moves without him moving it and it has saved his life before.Now with the new task impose on him, which is to defeat the Lords of Chaos and restore the balance between Law and Chaos; the book starts with Corum and Rhalina riding near the woods of Model’s Mount. On their way back to the castle, they come across a giant, which Corum saw in the previous book. Rhalina calls him the “Wading One”, as they see him fish and inspect his catch before letting it go. She tells Corum that the myth says that he is looking for his soul. That night, during dinner, a man knocks on castle door asking for help as he was left on the shore by the Wading One, his name was Jhary-a-Conel. He claims to be a traveler that is destined to move “through all times and planes.” the-queen-of-swordsJhary brings the news that Glandyth plans to attack Lywm-an-Esh, a continent where Mabdens have adopted the costumes of the Vadhagh and live peacefully. Corum, Rhalina, and Jharly embark on a journey to Lywm-an-Esh, and later to the next five planes domain by the Queen of Chaos Xiombarg to find allies to fight the power of Chaos in their planes.I liked the character of Jhary-a-Conel, his way of talking was funny and if you know about the Eternal Champion you can see his given away information about the other planes or dimensions; also I liked his wing-cat Whiskers, the face that can be seen on the cover of the book.“Have you no profession?” Corum asked him. “Well, I have some poetry and plays in my time, but my main profession could be that I am a friend of heroes…”Corum is still bitter and on his quest to kill Glandyth-a-Krae. It seems that he is not going to be happy or content until that Mabden is dead, and I can see that Rhalina tries to be patient with his outburst from time to time. Over the course of the book we can see that they rely on one another in difficult moments, and try to embrace themselves when they fear death is near.It seems that the goal for this series is to kill the Lords of Chaos and restore the balance to the powers of Law. An idea of the Michael Moorcock is that the Gods need the help of mortals to exist and do things on Earth.“And the gods?” Corum asked him eagerly. “I think we create them. But I am not sure. Where primitives invent crude gods to explain thunder, more sophisticated people create more elaborate gods to explain the abstractions which puzzle them. It has often been noted that gods could not exist without mortals and mortals could not exist without gods”I had some trouble with some names that Jhary mentions because if a person doesn’t have any knowledge about the other series of Michael Moorcock, then the name from other books won’t make sense.If you are a fan of Michael Moorcock or the Corum Series or any other of his series, I recommend you read, the Queen of the Swords, the second book on the Corum Series. Here, our hero goes in quest to find allies over different planes and even finds people that he thought dead.
2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Law and Chaos - Eternal Champions - Cosmic Balance By Paul F. Brooks The Queen of the Swords - Michael Moorcock (643 - book 2 of Corum - fantasy - September 24, 2015) Since "Queen of the Swords" is book 2 of the six-book Corum series I have to inform curious readers that it is essential that they read book 1 "Knight of the Sword". It is what it is - one remarkable fantasy story told in six chapters - miss a chapter and well that's a real problem. "Queen of the Swords" picks up where "Knight of the Swords" left off: Corum had destroyed the heart of Lord Arkyn of Chaos restoring the cosmic balance on Five Planes of reality. Undaunted Corum's sworn enemies seek supernatural aid while being goaded by Chaos Lord Xiombarg. Traveling to the realm of the Queen of the Swords (Xiombarg) to seek help from the City in the Pyramid Corum is assisted by a man of mystery one Jhary-a-Conel - an individual who is companion across space-time to several of Moorcock's Eternal Champions in the cosmic tug-for-war between Law and Chaos. No spoilers here you have to read it to see how it all shakes out - highly recommended. Michael Moorcock is a creative master at assigning names to character, place and item names. His fantasy novels resonate with his memorable creations. In fact just the mention of a fictional name in a review or article about Moorcock brings to this readers mind stories and personalities I hold in great esteem. In the six book Corum series these terms and names seem to fit exactly into the context of the fantasy world Moorcock created: Vadhagh and Nhadragh were the Elder Races or Old Races - ancient enemies; the Nhadragh lived in castles on islands in the sea - the Vadhagh lived in family groups on the continent Bro-an-Vadhagh; man called Mabden at first fearful of the Elder Races then jealous then began to feel malicious; Jhary-a-Conel companion to champions in many of Moorcock's series - also referred to as "you of many names" - a co-adventurer with Prince Corum starting with "Queen of the Swords"; Prince Corum Jhaelen Irsei perhaps the last of the Vadhagh race - sometimes known as Prince in the Scarlet Robe also known as Prince with the Silver Hand; Earl Glangyth-a-Krae, a mabden(man), sworn enemy of Corum and leader of the Denledhyssij (murderers); Five Planes of reality - cotangent realms ruled by Lord Arioch of Chaos and subject of Corum book 1 and Lord Arkyn of Law assist Corum in restoring the Cosmic Balance between Chaos and Law or good and evil. Some of the characters and locations and narrative tropes used in the Corum series play significant roles in other series and novels by Moorcock. While perplexing to new readers it make marvelous sense once you become acquainted with some of his other eternal champions such as Elric of Melnibone, Duke Dorian Hawkmoon and Prince Corum Jhaelen Irsei. This aspect of his storytelling prowess has and continues to make this author a favorite of many readers.
