Synopsis

Huron Blackheart, Master of the Red Corsairs, is a warlord without a champion. Several hopefuls wish to claim the honour of fighting at the side of the Tyrant of Badab – the twins Szear and Feddeus; Dolosus, duellist extraordinaire, and Vorenus, a warrior of the Emperor’s Children who has fought the servants of the corpse-Emperor since time immemorial. Sent to battle one another in the twisted depths of Blackheart’s realm, which of them – if any – will emerge victorious and claim the title of Tyrant’s Champion?
