On the continent of Nekralala, Humanity lives under a regime of fear. The Eldren, their ancient enemies, have reclaimed their lost homes, and everyone awaits their imminent invasion.

Everyone needs a great hero, and that is none other than Erekózi, the Eternal Champion, who will rise from his ancient tomb to judge the war between the two warring tribes. But what will happen when the hero begins to doubt the righteousness of the side he serves? When his heart and reason push him to the opposite shore?

A gripping tale of great wars and terrible betrayals, love and hate. The story of the figure from whom all the epic cycles of Michael Moorcock's heroes begin and to whom they all return. The story of the Eternal Champion, who explains his fate and the great sin that condemns him to inhabit myriad different bodies without finding rest and peace.
