I got this book when I was quite young at a used book store. I believe it was very cheap, like a dollar or so, and it was very used and tattered. I read the entire book and I loved it. There was a lot of adventuring, a lot of mystical and magical elements, wizards, enemies, a scary assassin-type woman named Viveka, a battle with skeletons on a ship, and more. It was the perfect book for a young teen like I probably was at the time. I really want to find this book now. I know it is laying around somewhere but I just can't find it. It is a really incredible read, but most people probably won't be able to find it at all. It took me a couple hours of deep internet searching just to find the cover. I loved this book. :( This review is about the American second half, Legends of Lone Wolf: The Sword of the Sun

Just for the record there are MORE than 12 books. Furthermore, yes, they are incredible. It's an ongoing adventure with a fantastic plot. I've used them to get my students into reading allowing them to DO something with their reading. But yes, there are more than 12, I DO in fact have them all and am NOT in fact interested in parting with them.

The Lone Wolf series is a great series. I have all 12 books and am going through them all again. Get this book.

The book basically brings you right smack into the surreal world,whereby evil and good fight for control.I can say joe dever moves you with all the vivid memories of how lone wolf journeys through the land to arrive at durenor to get the sommerswerd.The book made me think about life in fact and could even control my feelings[angry,sad,etc.]with the vivid descriptions of the situations.UNFORTUNATELY the books are all out of print.I just wish joe dever would actually consider reprinting new issues,as i never had a chance to find out how lone wolf developed in the later issues.PLEASE DO REPUBLISH THE BOOKS.

The Sword of the Sun is also the name of the book that encompasses both The Tides of Treachery and this The Sword of the Sun. That book is extremely hard to find. This volume of Lone Wolf Legends chronicles the results of Vonotar the Traitor's betrayal to Sommerlund. Vonotar the Traitor, after failing to overthrow the Guildmaster of Toran and exploding one of his brethren's heart (The Guildmaster had named Vonotar to be his successor, ironically) fled to the Darklands, with both advanced knowledge of good magic and a rudimentary knowledge of the Nadziran arts, the black magics. Upon arriving in the Darklands, the sorcerer was met by a pack of Giaks, the stupid and evil spawn the Darklords breed for slaves. Befriending a Giak, which he named Carag (Vassagonian for "cesspool"), Vonotar flew to the Darkland fortress of Kaag, the citadel of Archlord Zagarna. Vonotar exchanged with the evil being knowledge that could destroy Sommerlund for knowledge of the Nadziranim arts. Now skilled in both black and white magic, Vonotar had effectively married both together. His magical prowess was enough to make him the most powerful sorcerer in Magnamund, the world Lone Wolf takes place upon, but Zagarna had exacted a price for the exchange: should Vonotar turn on him, the Nadziranim sorcerers would scatter the sorcerer's body to the four winds. Vonotar had manipulated all of the other Darklords in believing that he was superior to all of them but Zagarna. He slowly insinuated his power, and Zagarna grew weaker and weaker... With the Darkland army poised to conquer Sommerlund, the Kai hero Lone Wolf must journey far to take the Sommerswerd, the Sword of the Sun. Vonotar has learned of Lone Wolf, the last of the Kai, and has made preparations to make sure the warrior never reaches his destination of Hammerdal... But another entity, Alyss, who thwarted Vonotar's attempt to destroy Lone Wolf, and raised the warrior from death, also waits..
