Exotic, erotic — Lustbader is back. His first fantasy novel for sixteen years, and it’s well worth waiting for. He is the Dai-San, the Sunset Warrior: glorious and terrible to behold. Neither man nor god, yet the power he wields is beyond description. With it, he slayed the Dolman, the dark angel of Chaos. But the Dai-San is not invincible. He still has bitter lessons to learn. Along the darkest road of his struggles, the Dai-San was aided by his beloved bond-brother Moichi; and in his moments of relief he earned the love of Chiisai. They are his greatest allies, for they are unswerving in their loyalty: they are his greatest weakness, for each has seen inside his soul and knows how he can be defeated. Now, in a world where nothing is as it seems and dangerous ambitions are brutally realized, Chaos finds an agent through which it can return and once again challenge its deadliest enemy, the Dai-San. And whatever the prize, Chaos will have its revenge…

The year is 885, and England is at peace, divided between the Danish kingdom to the north and the Saxon kingdom of Wessex in the south. Uhtred, the dispossessed son of a Northumbrian lord — warrior by instinct, Viking by nature — has finally settled down. He has land, a wife and two children, and a duty given to him by King Alfred to hold the frontier on the Thames. But then trouble stirs: a dead man has risen, and new Vikings have arrived to occupy the decayed Roman city of London. Their dream is to conquer Wessex, and to do it they need Uhtred's help. Alfred has other ideas. He wants Uhtred to expel the Viking raiders from London. Uhtred must weigh his oath to the king against the dangerous turning tide of shifting allegiances and deadly power struggles. It is Uhtred — half Saxon, half Dane — whose uncertain loyalties must now decide England's future.
