Synopsis
Thongor of Valkarth, a barbarian adventurer in prehistoric Lemuria, sets out to rescue Princess Sumia and to save her city from its enemies. His path leads him to the lost city of Omm, which the vampire-king Xothun has ruled for a thousand years. To free the princess and the people he has sworn to defend, Thongor must face the undead lord on his own ground, using his sword, his wits and whatever allies he can find along the way. The novel continues the Lemurian sword-and-sorcery adventures begun in the first book of the series.
