Corum Jhaelen Irsei, hero of the legendary battle with the Sword Rulers. In an age before time began when the old Gods were abroad in the Earth, Corum of the Scarlet Robe defeated the agents of chaos and cruelty and made history possible. Now a new age requires a hero. There are new lords who would be gods - Odin and Thor and Freya and Loki. And there are the descendants of Corum's Vadagh people, now called Elf-folk. There is a portent - a great black bull sometimes seen on the horizon. The bull must be ridden by the one who possesses the Spear of Llaw Ereint. And the one who will come to possess the spear will be one who has a silver hand - it is the hand of Corum.

Corum of the Silver Hand attempts to defeat the Cold Gods and restore the High King's power by obtaining two lost talismans, the Golden Oak and the Silver Ram.

The Great Confrontation

Corum Jhaelen Irsei, Prince of the Scarlet Robe, legendary hero of the battle with The Sword Rulers, has reached the climatic stage of his new struggle with Chaos. The great black bull tamed, the Ram of Caer Gwydion slaughtered, the spear of Llaw Erient in his silver hand, Corum must face the Cold Folk in the battle that will yet again beat back the forces of chaos - or deliver the world to evil unending.

Prince Corum is the last of the Vadhagh, his family and people brutally slain by the Mabden. Vowing to wreak vengeance on the killers, Corum sets out on his terrible quest only to fall in love with a beautiful Mabden woman, and to confront the fury of the Lords of Chaos. For they fear that he is the hero who could tip the balance in their cataclysmic war with the forces of Law and free his world from Chaos's vicious grip. His epic struggle against them and his ultimate victory is only bought at a considerable price.

Moorcock's evocation of a rich, dark world, a time of magic, phantasms, cities in the sky, oceans of light and wild flying beasts of bronze is one of the pinnacles of modern imaginative literature.

This is the omnibus edition of the three books in The Chronicles of Corum series.
