The condemned man from cell XXVII is offered a deal by a wealthy client that he cannot refuse. His freedom, along with a hefty reward, is at stake if he agrees to undertake an extraordinarily risky, if not impossible, mission: he must venture into the neighboring kingdom, teeming with furious and enraged orcs, to rescue a young princess who is being held captive there. An exciting fantasy series by David Chauvel, brought to life in skillfully dynamic images by Lereculey.
