I just love his books - Still in good condition. >>> The story: post-global catastrophe, some type of unspecified mass earthquake. The human population has been decimated, and its existence hampered by a fickle climate. The story centres around England and the 'Kingdom of Winchester'. Here, humans live in small cities, ruled by princes, and practise annual, small wars, against each other, for glory. There are mutants aplenty: dwarfs, and others more afflicted. Surrounding them are the 'barbarian' lands, which continually encroach upon the civilised, threatening to dissrail what small steps of progress have been made. - The protagonist is young warrior, Luke, who first gains a measure of glory and notoriety when he wins the City annual, teen, military contest, whose father becomes the ruling prince (killing, with regret, his predecessor), with him as heir designate.
