Following the cataclysmic events in The Claws of Chaos, Kurt Leitzig sits uneasily as a chosen warrior of the Gods. To prove himself to the Norse tribes, Kurt gathers a war party and sails to the fabled lands of Araby. There, they discover a deserted city of rising pyramids and long forgotten tombs. Overtaken by their lust for gold, the pillagers awaken an army that has been dead for thousands of years - the dreaded Tomb King Nephythys has been unleashed.
