Produktbeschreibung
Rogan-the aging, jaded barbarian who gave up his throne-painfully realizes that his most storied childhood heroes are fading into antiquity, becoming mere ballads in the eyes of the younger warriors. And he might be next. He stops at the hometown of his idol, but little remains to show of the man's exploits ... until he meets the hero's daughter, Roan, riding her father's infamous seven-hundred-year-old horse. Roan has a vendetta against General Tolin La Gaul, who harbors a dark secret. She tries to convince Rogan to join her in riding upon the Citadel of Nosmada in the land of Nod to confront Tolin, but Rogan has no interest in such a dicey plan. That is, until his nephew, Javan, goes missing, presumed captured. Now the Citadel has become a snare, and he has no choice but to spring the trap's jaws. Rogan's path leads him into darker and more twisted schemes than even he could have imagined ... gods, devils, and an undead dragon, forcing him to confront not only his own mortality and place in history-but even his god, Wodan. Steven L. Shrewsbury and Brian Keene's award-winning Bastards Saga comes to its exciting conclusion with CURSE OF THE BASTARDS!
