[Kormak the Guardian 09] • Masque of Death

”The King of High Adventure," Starlog.

”Immediately convincing, classically brooding," Steve Tompkins, TheCimmerian.com

To the world at large, he is a mercenary and assassin, a brutal killer with a deadly blade. In reality, Kormak is a Guardian, one of an ancient order sworn to protect humanity from the servants of the gathering darkness.

MASQUE OF DEATH

The colony of Terra Nova is a place of dark secrets. Corrupt Old Ones, sinister sorcerers and murderous cults lurk in the shadows. Accused of a murder he did not commit, Kormak must unravel its mysteries before rebellion and dark sorcery tear the land apart.
