The ancient races, the Vadhagh and the Nhadragh, are dying. By creating Mankind, the universe has condemned Earth to a pestilence of destruction and fear.
Prince Corum is the last remaining Vadhagh. He sets out on a crusade of vengeance against the forces that slaughtered his family and his race, to challenge the unjust power of the puppet masters of Man: the Lords of Chaos. Along the way he will barter with his soul for the limbs of gods to repair his mutilated body, and will encounter a member of the very race who caused the mutilation, the irresistible Rhalina...
"Corum’s story spans multiple planes of existence and includes gods, demigods, and elements of older flavor of mythic fantasy." - Barnes & Noble
"Despite the new races, strange names, and exotic locations it is incredibly easy to be swept away into the adventure." - Portland Book Review
