Brak the Barbarian is a sword and sorcery character created by John Jakes, first appearing in 1968. The series follows Brak, a northern barbarian warrior, as he journeys south toward the golden kingdom of Dorada, fighting sorcerers, demons, and other threats along the way.
The five books were published between 1968 and 1985. Jakes wrote the Brak stories early in his career before becoming famous for his historical fiction sagas. The character is often compared to Robert E. Howard’s Conan, though Brak has his own distinct quest-based storyline driving the series.
