Death to Castle Brass! (94)
Hawkmoon: The Runestaff by Michael Moorcock.
Black hunk of metal
like Mournblade & Stormbringer.
Yes, the gods play dice.
Anglachel! Gurthang!
"I will drink thy blood gladly!"
whispers to Turin.
"Should it not please me,"
Kullervo's sword sings to him,
"to eat guilty flesh?"
I really liked the Hawkmoon books a whole lot. The melancholy ending was appropriate.
