About This Item
The Jewel in the Skull [ISBN 0-88677-175-7]
223 p. Very minor shelfwear, but otherwise Fine, being a copy which has obviously never been read.
From back cover:
"Those who dare swear by the Runestaff must then benefit or suffer from the consequences of the fixed pattern of destiny that they set in motion. Several such oaths have been sworn in the history of the Runestaff's existence..."
—The High History of the Runestaff
Dorian Hawkmoon, late the Duke of Koln, fell under the power of the Runestaff, a mysterious artifact more ancient than Time itself. His destiny, shaped by a vengeful oath sworn by the maddened Baron Meliadus of the Dark Empire, pitted Hawkmoon in battle against his own allies and forced him, by the Black Jewel embedded in his skull, to betray his very heritage.
Michael Moorcock's Runestaff novels are among the great modern classics of fantastic adventure. DAW Books is proud to bring them back to print, in these editions, authorized and revised by the author.
The Mad God's Amulet [ISBN 0-88677-216-8]
223 p. Very minor shelfwear and partial crease (see images), but otherwise Fine, being a copy which has obviously never been read.
From back cover:
Having braved incredible dangers in his battle against the science-sorcery of the Dark Empire, Dorian Hawkmoon was returning to his homeland. But a worse fate awaited him...
His betrothed Yisselda had been abducted by the Mad God, an evil sorcerer who had usurped the Red Amulet of the Runestaff. The amulet gave the power of the Runestaff itself to its possessor, and now that mighty force was in the perverted hands of the Mad God.
Even as the destructive shadow of the Dark Empire spread across the wold, Hawkmoon knew that only he could rescue Yisselda—and the Red Amulet—from the Mad God.
But had a mortal man the power to overcome a God?
Complete in itself, DAW presents this second book in the classic Runestaff series revised and authorized by Michael Moorcock.
The Sword of the Dawn [ISBN 0-88677-173-0]
221 p. Very minor shelfwear, but otherwise Fine, being a copy which has obviously never been read.
From back cover:
In Earth's dim future the Dark Empire had grown more powerful—so powerful that it threatened to destroy even the well-protected province of the Kamarg. Only the ancient crystal machine of the wraith folk could save the Kamarg's people by warping them into another dimension. But Dorian Hawkmoon knew that such a sanctuary was but an illusion.
Though his destiny was still ruled by the Runestaff, he was fated to don sword and armor once again...to find himself in a strange, unfriendly land, battling new and powerful enemies.
This, the third in the Runestaff fantasy novels, is complete in itself and has been revised and specially authorized by Michael Moorcock.
The Runestaff [ISBN 0-88677-218-4]
222p. Very minor shelfwear, otherwise Fine, being a copy which has obviously never been read.
From the back cover:
"As it is written: 'Those who swear by the Runestaff must then benefit or suffer from the consequences of the fixed pattern of destiny that they set in motion.'
"And Baron Meliadus of the Kroiden had sworn such an oath, had sworn vengeance against all of Castle Brass, had sworn that Yisselda, Count Brass's daughter, would be his. On that day, many moths earlier, he had fixed the pattern of fate; a pattern that had involved him in strange destructive schemes, that had involved Dorian Hawkmoon in wild and uncanny adventures in distant places, and that was now nearing its terrible resolution."
— from The High History of the Runestaff
Here, is THE RUNESTAFF, the final magnificent novel in Michael Moorcock's classic saga of Dorian Hawkmoon. This is the revised and authorized edition prepared for DAW Books.
