I'm trying to find title / series / author of some books that I have been remembering lately. publisher possibly del rey or thor or one of those penny novel publishers from the 50s-60s. I remember mostly yellowish front / back cover.
Fairly small books, about size of Heinlein's youth series, serialized. 1st. book starts with a barbarian warrior in trouble, chased by ???, saved by some god of mountain and fire who sets the forest ablaze after the hero hears some little verse. He apparently has a destiny prophesied. He escapes and goes on to work for some lord, sleeps with the red-haired daughter who turns out to be a powerful witch. Together they go on quest to save their world and fulfill the prophecy, don't really remember much else, other than maybe in one of the later books they ride an a pegasus-like winged horse???
Not grand literature, but unpretentious adventure quest.

Any ideas?
Thanks for your time and consideration.
