Skaith · #1

The Ginger Star

Leigh Brackett

On Skaith for just scant days, Stark already finds himself a wanted man – hunted mercilessly by the Wandsmen, malevolent nobles who hold the population in a tight grip of fear and slavery. By joining forces with a beautiful prophetess and a band of wandering freebooters, Stark is able to stay their evil plans long enough to discover where his friend is held prisoner. But will even Stark's strength and bravery be enough to stand up to the great Lords Protectors – whose impregnable castle is guarded by the hellish, telepathic North-hounds, that conquer their victims with fear?
