Description

Brotherhood of Blood! Once again, the Berserker became flesh... Among the wild hills and forests of Britain, he was reborn as the Celts' mightiest warrior. Even as a boy, his mad bloodlust spread superstitious terror among friend and enemy alike. He was Swiftaxe, known as the Horned Warrior: half ghost, half man—and all killer. In the arena of the Roman conquerors he bathed his axe in the gore and sninews of those who dared fight him. And in his native Britain he let nothing bar his only desire—freedom from the age-old curse that held him captive, a crazed animal among men. UNtil finally he sought his brother, at the Place of the Stones, for the ultimate blood-letting. The sacrificial, titanic battle that would call the gods down from their seats of power and liberate the Berserker at last...
