Leaving behind a lifetime of war and intrigue, master swordsman and monster-hunter Leo Faulkner has made the frontier town of Crestmarch his home, only to see it besieged by vile creatures that call themselves druids. Thanks to his training in magic, Leo manages to fend off the druids, but he knows that they will only return in greater force and numbers. His only path to victory lies in establishing an alliance between Crestmarch and the mysterious dark elves. But Leo has to find them first, so he sets out to do just that with his apprentice and three beautiful women, each of them formidable in her own way.
