**The time of sacrifice is at hand...**When the warlord Alrik is forced by a wizard to choose between sacrificing his own subjects or facing the consequences of a famine, he takes a third option. Few dare face the wielders of magick, but rumor tells of a man who specializes in such a confrontation. Alrik seeks out the Wizard Slayer, a barbarian warrior whose single purpose is to slaughter those who dare utilize the dark arts. In his desperation to rid himself of the wizard’s threat, Alrik may have unleashed something he cannot control. The Price of a Head is a standalone short story featuring Krael of Mog Muhtar, the titular character of the Wizard Slayer Saga. It is an excellent introduction to Krael and the world that is The Last Age, all in an hour’s worth of reading.If you like the brutal action of Robert E. Howard's Conan, the dark fantasy of Kentaro Miura’s Berserk, and the fast pace of old-fashioned pulp sword and sorcery, then you'll love The Price of a Head!
