In this book, the main character is a veteran warrior who returns to his home in Neuburg only to find the town occupied by Southern warriors and most gruesome creatures. He must travel into the castle of Baron Tholdur, where the source of the curse - an ancient sorcerer named Xagazh - which befell the town is hidden, along with two mystical weapons which will help destroy it.

The book features a blend of the fantasy and horror genres. It also features some particularly disturbing failure references.
