A warrior forced to battle the evil that thwarts his destiny, Brak must combat sorcery and plagues as he journeys south to Khurdisan. Before reaching this paradise city, he must hack his way through obstacle after obstacle as he passes through unknown lands. But between his broadsword and heart he is able to overcome certain death at the hands of monsters like Septegundus (capturer of souls) and Ariane (a spellbinding witch). Now his life lies in the hands of fate ?

Making his way south toward the gold land of Khurdisan, Brak must first traverse the desolate territory of the Manworm—a land gripped by terror of things unknown & awful—a land of unseen watchers & horrifying riddles—a land ravaged by the evil of Nordica Fire-Hair, the beautiful, hypnotic sorceress whose occult experiments include human sacrifice.

Lost in a Widstorm, his pony dead and his wineskin nearly empty, Brak is glad to fall in with a rich caravan making its dangerous way across the desert. And when the fierce, ruby-eyed warriors of Quran attack the train, Brak's barbaric strength and powerful swordsmanship become the rallying point in the battle.
