"Only the sun and moon can remember now how it looked then. Lush, rich, tangled. Savage. Shadowed. A world populated by demons and serpents, by wild men and proud, sensual women. A world of mystery. Magic. Music. Murder."
After over ten years out of print, this omnibus unites the first two books of the popular Frank Frazetta-inspired Death Dealer series, based on the iconic painting of the same name.
Prisoner of the Horned Helmet introduces suffering hero Gath of Baal. In the mists of time, before Atlantis rose, an age rife with sorcery and violence, the earth trembled beneath the all-conquering hooves of the Kitzaak Horde. Gath must dare to confront the Kitzaak lances, to stand between the never-defeated armies and the valley that will millennia later be know as the Mediterranean Sea. Gath must dice with the gods to save the peaceful People of the Forest, and the price he must pay is to don the Horned Helmet and become death made flesh.
In Lords of Destruction, Gath, now imprisoned in the helmet, has been rechristened the Death Dealer. Only the innocent touch of the maiden Robin Lakehair could free him from its murderous power, even temporarily. Now Tiyy, Nymph Queen of Pryam, seeks the godlike powers that she can gain only from Robin Lakehair's death. To save Robin's life, Gath must don the helmet again and confront the demons Tiyy has summoned from the primordial depths-demons that emerge from mankind's deepest fears.
Contained herein is a massive dark fantasy adventure, featuring beautiful women, bloody battles, huge swords, and vivid imagery the likes of which could only have been imagined by Frank Frazetta, "the Rembrandt of barbarians" (Forbes Magazine).
