About the Book

Brak the Barbarian: The Mark of the Demons is also known as Brak the Barbarian Versus the Mark of the Demons and The Mark of the Demons.

And as first one, then another of the travellers fell prey to the horror that stalked them, Brak knew that he must find a weapon more powerful than his sword if he too was not to be discovered drained of blood and bones, a dry husk bearing the three black marks, the triangular Mark of the Demons.
