A malevolent shadow has risen, and though whispers of witchcraft, of black magicks and darksome conjurings touch far too many ears as naught but the nonsense of children's fables, Thorgrim has witnessed the truth of those rumors. Born to the clan of Ironwolf berserkers, the warrior granted the name of Grimblade when still but a child walks a lonely path, one which leaves his footsteps puddled with blood, as he seeks to understand the witchcult that has brought such baleful darkness to the land. Indeed shall he journey from the savage Bloodlands of his birth, there where the clans ever wage their endless wars, to the six kingdoms of Darthan and beyond, all so that he might learn how best to stand against the Order of the Evernight and its master, the nameless necromancer and living god known only as the Witchlord. Nine blood-soaked tales await within this tome as Thorgrim pits his blade against the wicked magicks of a cult's fiendish witches, stories of thrilling sword and sorcery shadowed by crippling horror forged in the same iron as Robert E. Howard's most beloved heroes.
