AN EPIC FANTASY NOVEL RETURNS...IT WAS A TIME OF DARKNESS...Emperor Sarbat ruled over his kingdom with sadistic brutality, slaking his lust with any woman that tempted him, killing all that opposed... This description may be from another edition of this product.
This one was first published in 1978. My title states this is a hard read in many ways, and it is. The story is quite involved and to be frank, quite brutal. Basically, it is the story of a very evil empire ruled by a very, very evil, cruel and somewhat insane leader. The story is of one man, Jehan, who overthows this empire. This is done through a peasant revolt. The author is quite graphic in his discription of death, battle, etc. At the time this was written in fact, he probably was pushing the line just a bit. While the author does get a bit bogged down in details at times, and the story does slow a bit here and there, it is still a great read for those who enjoy this particular genre. Recommend.
