The Oak and the Ram

Eighty years after losing his lover Rhalina, Corum lives in solitary despondency until strange voices in the night -- which he first mistakes for madness -- call him into a distant future where Rhalina's own descendants, the Tuha-na-Cremm Croich, are being driven to extinction. Seven monstrous, disease-bearing giants called the Fhoi Myore have conquered their land and locked it in eternal winter, and Corum, allying with King Mannach and falling for his daughter Medhbh, must track down a set of ancient talismans capable of turning back the Fhoi Myore's endless winter. Old enemies return to stand in his way. The second novel in Michael Moorcock's second Corum trilogy.
