A Novella by Charles Eugene Anderson
In the treacherous Mountains of Darkness, the barbarian warrior Loth finds himself hunting for magical treasure. When a mysterious sorceress named Tara enlists his help to retrieve a powerful amulet from an ancient ziggurat, Loth agrees, hoping to claim a legendary warhammer for his people. But the ruins hide dark secrets and sinister guardians that will push Loth and his companions to their limits.
Accompanied by Tara and Increased, a shifty adventurer, Loth must brave the cursed ziggurat's deadly traps and supernatural protectors. Within its shadowy depths, he discovers the Emerald Promise - not a mere trinket, but a mystical being bound to the temple itself. However, their rival, the twisted sorcerer Uzohr, will stop at nothing to claim the ziggurat's power. And Increased's greed may doom them all when he steals the cursed warhammer for himself.
In a race against time, Loth and Tara must overcome deceit, betrayal and vengeful spirits to save the magical being known as the Emerald Promise. But will the ancient ziggurat's destruction spell the end of their quest, or only the beginning?
