Question

I don't remember much about this fanstasy book i read when i was a kid, but here are some details that I do remember

there was a kid who could use magic
There was a black stallion that could talk
There was a sorcerer who would switch from good to evil every time he died
There was a sword the became more powerful with each kill
There was an evil wizard (i think the kid's uncle) who also had a powerful sword. he makes it in the third book i think

oh one more thing i remembered -

the kid learns magic when he is possessed for a short while by his dead father

Thanks for your help

Answer 1

Not sure, but it sounds a little like The Ring of Allaire by Susan Dexter. Not exactly, but similar (of course there is lots of fantasy novels that would sound "similar").

She wrote an entire series set in the same world.
The Ring of Allaire (1985)
The Sword of Calandra (1985)
The Mountains of Channadran (1986)
The Wizard's Shadow (1993)
The Wind-Witch (1994)
The Prince of Ill Luck (1994)
The True Knight (1996)

Answer 2

I'm not too sure but you might be talking about The Sword of Truth series. Here is a link to the author's web site.
