About the Book

Nurtured by sorcery, fighting prowess enhanced by spells and protected against steel's, sharp edge by enchantments, Guardians of the TEMPLE OF EKKRAN venture across the known world in the service of their evil Deity. Agents of death and destruction, no kingdom or empire can bar their path in executing the will of fiendish Sorcerer-Priests in whose icy grip the Palahian Empire shivers in dread. First among the Guardians is Ral Thagus, Clique-Leader and Champion of the Priest Trelon, who is second only to the First-Priest Shakron, an evil mage plotting the demise of mankind. Forbidden to love, Ral gives his heart to a hostage noblewoman and is banished from the Temple. An Outcast, Ral finds himself on the distant High Plateau, a land rife with warfare, political intrigue,and betrayal; a region of many city-states and kingdoms ruled by the once honorable Arkhuns and their nobility, the Horselords, who worship sword-cults to which they owe a separate loyalty. It is a land overrun with mercenaries called Bloodspillers, swords bought by Arkhun gold. Forever hunted by his own Guardian brethren whom he must kill to survive, Ral is plunged into this maelstrom by the diabolical schemes of his former patrons.
