Sinbad's escape from the Dozhakian arena has left him gravely injured, but alive. The beautiful Martian priestess Qani leads Sinbad, along with Kar-Tyr, the last of the Kurwani, to a sage who may just know the location of the missing prince of Dozhak. Will Sinbad fulfill the Azurian prophecy or will the evil Akhdar's influence prove to be too far-reaching? Ships with three covers in equal ratio (including a cover by Michael Avon Oeming).
