| Abstract | Kane, the mystic swordsman--an immortal, flame-haired sorcerer-warrior, cursed by an insane elder god to walk the Earth until eventually destroyed by the violence that he himself created. Deep in the forest, hidden inside eldritch ruins within the impenetrable swamp of the batrachian toad-men, there exists an ancient relic from the days when an elder race from beyond the stars ruled a pre-human Earth. When Kane captures an ancient ring--a magnificent green-red Bloodstone--during a savage raid, he discovers that it has the power to reawaken that which has lain dormant, but not dead, for countless millennia. Soon he is leading a small force into the unwholesome swamp to uncover this long-buried secret, but is even the feared and fabled Kane powerful enough to control an arcane alien weapon and make himself ruler of the world...? |
