Download or read book The Broken Sword written by Poul Anderson and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2014-12-30 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This acclaimed fantasy classic of men, elves, and gods is at once breathtakingly exciting and heartbreakingly tragic. Published the same year as The Fellowship of the Ring, Poul Anderson’s novel The Broken Sword draws on similar Scandinavian and Anglo-Saxon sources. In his greed for land and power, Orm the Strong slays the family of a Saxon witch—and for his sins, the Northman must pay with his newborn son. Stolen by elves and replaced by a changeling, Skafloc is raised to manhood unaware of his true heritage and treasured for his ability to handle the iron that the elven dare not touch. Meanwhile, the being who supplanted him as Orm’s son grows up angry and embittered by the humanity he has been denied. A pawn in a witch’s vengeance, the creature Valgard will never know love, and consumed by rage, he will commit a murderous act of unspeakable vileness. It is their destiny to finally meet on the field of battle—the man-elf and his dark twin, the monster—when the long-simmering war between elves and trolls finally erupts with a devastating fury. And only the mighty sword Tyrfing, broken by Thor and presented to Skafloc in infancy, can turn the tide in a terrible clashing of faerie folk that will ultimately determine the fate of the old gods. Along with such notables as Isaac Asimov and Ray Bradbury, multiple Hugo and Nebula Award winner Poul Anderson is considered one of the masters of speculative fiction. This edition contains the author’s original text.

After his final victory, he imprisoned the demons deep beneath the earth with a seal that will hold so long as his descendants hold the throne. Unfortunately, every dynasty comes to an end. And as time went on, people forgot about the demons, treating them as nothing more than scary tales meant to frighten disobedient children. And when the last king was killed and left no heir to succeed him, the once-proud Kingdom of Lamaira splintered into three factions that have fought for decades in their attempt to conquer what is left of the kingdom. Without a king on the throne, the demons will rise again and destroy the people of Lamaira. And when twenty-three-year-old swordsman Keo kills a demon in the woods, he realizes that the demons are returning. To prevent the demons' return, Keo must travel to the capital of his country to show the country's rulers the proof of the demons' return so they can prepare for the ancient threat. Keo must fight robbers, demons, and other threats on his way to the capital, but little does he know that there exists a traitor among the leaders who threatens to destroy the country from the inside.
