In an attempt to usurp the throne of the Christian kingdom of Ulthor, Prince Sinistox enlists the aid of dark powers, including the many-headed hydra-dragon Vorthragna, whose smoke has put an entire land into darkness. The Bladetongue, oath-sworn heroes, must rescue the Grand Duchess from illegal exile, capture the unholy beast who dwells in the many-chambered volcanic catacombs, transport it in chains across land and sea, and cast it into the black Abyss of Tartarus beneath Mt. Abaddon. How many heroes will be laid low before they can accomplish the task and see their work harvested upon Gederon the plain of War? Thanks to the prayers and wisdom of the cleric, and the focus and skill of a barbarian, as well as all the oath-sworn, they have a chance. Ancient style epic with religious content.
