(Paperback)

As this stubborn, insubordinate son-of-a-bitch feels the first lash fall, he hears the desert tribes attack, and watches as they slaughter his comrades before they can execute him.
Rescued from certain death, Sven joins the tribes. Sven feels he's a pawn in a deadly game, and pawns have an unfortunate habit of being sacrificed.
