The Claws of Chaos — Gav Thorpe

AT THAT MOMENT, a dagger swept up towards Kurt's exposed armpit and he twisted quickly, catching it on his breastplate, his sword passing harmlessly over the Norseman's head. Horrified, his gaze moved from the clawed fingers gripping the knife, up a twisted arm that pulsated with exposed muscle and connected just below the northerner's ribcage. How could he have not noticed the man had a third arm?

THE ICY WINDS of Chaos blow down across the civilised world, corrupting man and beast alike. When loyal Empire knight Kurt Leitzig is forced to choose between duty and love, a tragic chain of events is set in motion. The first volume in the Slaves to Darkness trilogy, an epic tale of high adventure by Gav Thorpe.
