Swords & Sorcery

Swords & Sorcery is a subgenre of speculative fiction that features adventurous protagonists in fantastical worlds, often during medieval-like times. It emphasizes heroic action, personal bravery, and magical elements, typically involving quests, battles, and morally complex characters. Unlike epic fantasy, it tends to focus on individual heroes and their exploits rather than expansive world-building. The genre is known for its fast-paced stories, gritty tone, and emphasis on action and adventure, blending swordplay, magic, and mythic themes to create thrilling tales of heroism and danger.
