Ronin called no man master.
He was the finest swordsman of the Freehold, as sharp and deadly as his blade. Yet as the ancient city faltered, Ronin alone refused to pledge himself to any of the powerful Saardin who ruled the crumbling underground world of levels.
But now dark magic was loose in the world. As the ravings of the Magic Man foretold doom, Ronin and his lover, the sensual K'reen, were swept into a maelstrom of treachery, violence, and sudden death.
Their only hope lay in the lost scroll of the Ancients. And the desperate search led Ronin down into the very bowels of the earth, and up again, to the barrier of Freehold, where the endless ice began . . . .
The Beginning of a Legend
Beneath the ice-locked surface of the planet the Freehold is ruled by the sword. In the subterranean darkness the old order crumbles as the life-giving Machines of the Ancients stop one by one. Nameless savagery stalks the lower depths and the broken cries of the tortured haunt the War Lord's chambers . . .
In a doomed land there is one man whose spirit is not crushed, whose sword is as lethal as it is swift. Loathed by the law, he is a master of the ancient arts of love and war. He is a rebel and the lover of the majestically beautiful K'reen. He seeks a quest into the void and beyond. He is THE SUNSET WARRIOR.
