The sunset warrior

by Eric Van Lustbader

Ronin called no man master. He was the finest swordsman of the Freehold, as sharp and deadly as his blade.

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 . . . .
