Description:

In the war-ravaged city of Dhaout, deep in the wild and inhospitable land of Anxau, three deranged warlords vie for ultimate power. The inhuman despot, Feikermun, his former right-hand man, Gorl, and the sphinx-like Golden Lamb, whose true identity is a mystery. Into this affray steps the enigmatic and sometimes questionably motivated Zan-Chassin shaman/sorcerer and spy, Ronbas Dinbig of Khimmur, who finds himself at the centre of a profoundly bewildering mystery as he is compelled to investigate his own death. It is a situation unlike anything he has faced, setting in motion a terrifying journey through the midst of bitter and bloody conflict, into the depths of the unfathomable Citadel hidden somewhere behind the walls of Dhaout.
