Burning Skies — Stephen Zimmer

The Magarian empire is falling under the shadow of the fanatical desert warriors of Adis Khan, who are raiding with impunity from the lands to the east. Wielding his great war axe Raven Caller in defense of the empire's borders, Ragnar Stormbringer leads a band of mercenaries, growing swiftly in renown and acclaim. When the beautiful ruler of the Magarian city Kadaros, Aelia, hires Ragnar and his band of warriors for a secretive mission, a perilous adventure unfolds. Fearsome wilderness predators, supernatural threats, and roving bands of lethal warriors stand in the way of Ragnar, his warriors, and their mission. Blood will flow and the skies will burn. Burnings Skies is a stand-alone tale in the Ragnar Stormbringer Tales collection!
