Produktbeschreibung

A barbarian warrior-woman/sorceress from the northern steppes visits the ancient and wicked city of Bel-Athis, "The Jewel of the Sands" while traveling through strange desert lands far to the south and east. There she comes into conflict with the vicious tyrant Ammon-Zul, High Priest of Baal-Zebub, "The Lord of Flies," a devil-god who demands human sacrifice lest he unleash a terrible plague upon the city.

Weird fiction meets sword and sorcery fantasy in this first installment of the Valruna Saga, an ongoing series of tales surrounding the character Vana Valruna and her reluctant campaign against the Baals, the four demonic Lords that rule the ancient lands in which she travels, exiled by her clan for the practice of sorcery.

It all starts here in this tale, when a single heroic act earns Vana the enmity of the most bloodthirsty of these devil-gods, the sinister Baal-Zebub, whereupon she is inexorably drawn into what seems to be a desperate spiritual battle between the barbaric gods of the north and the terrifyingly alien deities worshiped by the civilized world.

With the aid of her beloved horse, Thunrasar, her trusted guide, Jerob of the desert folk, and her northern gods, as well as an unlikely ally in one who was cast out by those same gods, vilified as a traitor and deemed no better than a demon himself, one by one Vana will see these elder deities dethroned, or die in the attempt.

Autorenporträt

Christopher Courtley was born and raised in the big city but now dwells gratefully in the country, spinning his tales from a tumbledown cottage on the edge of the woods. These days he keeps to himself most of the time, only venturing forth now and then to feed the fairies.
