Nothing’s going well for anyone! The Barbarian: comatose in the prison infirmary! That weasel Garth: in pain after stealing the Barbarian’s gem of power! The warden: fully possessed by evil! Lannie: forced to cook cheese sandwiches or die! What better time for the Barbarian to finally reveal where he came from—and why no one’s likely to survive the night! The brutal, blood-bursting high fantasy prison pulp thunders towards its climax!
