Once a mighty kingdom reigned--now all is chaos and darkness! In the
vast reaches of the desert, a young heretic escapes certain death and
embarks on a mission of madness and glory. He is El Murid--the
Disciple--who vows to bring order, prosperity and righteousness to the
desert people of Hammad al Nakir.
But among the warriors, rebellion seethes as they plot to execute the
justice of the desert on their evil leader. For after four long
centuries, a sorcerer appears among them--a savior destined to build a
new Empire from the blood of their enemies!
