Before songs turned him into an invincible hero, Druss is a powerful but inexperienced woodsman devoted to his wife, Rowena. When raiders abduct her, he takes up the axe Snaga and begins a pursuit that carries him through slavers, armies and brutal arenas.

The search transforms Druss from an angry husband into a warrior whose name spreads across nations. Yet each victory demands a new sacrifice, and the novel shows how endurance, loyalty and violence create the public legend while testing the private man who must continue living inside it.
