Description

Except for the fact that he's been chased out of this corner of the galaxy by demons he helped to create, formerly famous comic book artist Danny Ramirez is a lot like you and me: disillusioned, depressed, often profane. Unfortunately, Danny soon finds that his new home in Ythedra is under attack by the same forces besieging Earth. A dark spirit of unimaginable powers is leading an army of monsters and murderers north to enslave the last free peoples of the Ninelands. Someone's going to have to act like a hero, and maybe it's Danny himself-even if it means picking up a sword instead of his pen. He'll have some help from a grizzled infantry commander, a burly, down-on-his-luck petty thief, an exotic warrior princess, and an irascible but dangerous blue troll from a cave kingdom far to the north. Together they make a formidable fighting force. But time is running out, and salvation for Danny Ramirez may mean saying so long to his dream of returning to a world he realizes he loves after all.
