The Darksword Trilogy
Book 3: Triumph Of The Darksword

In a realm where magic is life, Joram was one of the dead. Born w/out power, he was denied his royal birthright & sentence to the Turning--his mind to be imprisoned inside a husk of living stone. Yet at the last moment, Saryon took his place, suffering the eternal torment for his young master. Joram will fulfill the ancient prophecy of the darksword - the prophecy that puts in his hands the power to destroy the world or save it.
