Zaragoz — Brian Craig

THE SPEAKER WAS standing before the doors which had been opened to admit the dry night air. It was Arcangelo, the priest of law.

'I can tell you a tale; he said. 'A tale of the citadel of Zaragoz. A tale of betrayal, which happened long ago, but whose tangled threads extend, as the threads of treason always do, across the years and the centuries to the present day.

'I come to warn you all that the choice is soon to be made. If justice cannot come again to Zaragoz, then I promise you that Zaragoz is doomed!'

RIVEN BY POLITICAL intrigue, the countless petty kingdoms of Estalia are a dangerous land to travel through. When he rescues a mysterious priest from brigands, the minstrel Orfeo is drawn into a deadly power struggle for the citadel of Zaragoz. He is forced to use all the power of his wits and skill at arms to survive enemies fair and foul, human and monstrous.

Zaragoz is the first of the three tales of Orfeo the minstrel. These classic stories of high adventure and mystery were first published more than a decade ago, and are now available in a new edition that will find favour with Warhammer fans old and new alike.
