[Sunset Warrior Cycle 02] • Eric Van Lustbader - Sw 2

In this, the second volume of The Sunset Warrior Trilogy, Ronin has escaped the tragedy of the underground Freehold only to be thrust into the bizarre world of his planet’s surface—a seemingly unending expanse of ice and snow and bitter storms.

Setting out across a vast frozen sea with Borros, the Magic Man, Ronin heads south in an attempt to seek out the civilization he has been told exists there. But time is running short, for, as Borros relates, the ages of man upon the world appear to be ending. The Dolman, a sorcerous creature of awesome power, is coming, and already its hideous emissaries, the Makkon, are abroad. When all four join together, they will summon the Dolman to the world of man. When that happens, all mankind is doomed to annihilation.

Man’s one hope rests in the ancient scroll Ronin possesses. If it can be deciphered in time. As he crosses the perilous ice cea, with frigid winds whipping about him, Ronin wonders if he will indeed find people in the south. What will they be like? Will they know the old glyph forms of the scroll? And even if they do, what terrible secrets does the once-forbidden writing hold?
