Finished "Frost", by Mark A. Garland and Charles C. McGraw, which I bought from Baen sometime around 2000-ish. This is the sequel to "Demon Blade", which I read a few days ago. "Frost" is still available from Baen, but "Demon Blade" is not, presumably due to rights issues.
The story follows straight on from the events of "Demon Blade". Having recovered the legendary sword known as the "Demon Blade", the wizard "Frost" decides to return to his homeland to try to put right a wrong he did when he was a young man, when he was tricked into helping an evil man win the throne. Word is spreading far and wide, however, that Frost has recovered the Demon Blade, and everyone is determined to take it from him.
Very good fantasy and a worthy sequel to "Demon Blade". The ending leaves scope for a sequel, but sufficient loose ends are tied up to make it a worthwhile read. Recommended.
