The most popular sword & sorcery books
Sword and sorcery is fantasy at its fastest and most personal. A wandering warrior, a thief or a mercenary faces monsters, cults and scheming sorcerers, usually for gold or survival and not to save the world. The stories are short, bloody and full of swagger, and you can start almost anywhere.
