Eight decades have passed since Korum Jhalen Irsei, the Prince of the Scarlet Tunic, fought and defeated the Governors of the Swords, the fearsome gods of Chaos.

A hero in a world that no longer needs heroes, ageless in a world of mortals, having lost his loved ones in the relentless passage of time, he will almost accept with relief the call from another, future era, to help the distant descendants of his now deceased wife, in a world that has little in common with his own - a world plunged into the eternal winter brought by the fearsome Fuoi Miyor, beings with supernatural powers from another dimension, who slowly but relentlessly eradicate every form of life on the earth.

Only the ancient sacred treasures of the Mabbden can stop these undead servants, and Korum must seek the Brijonak Spear and the Black Bull of Krinanas on a deadly mission.
