"Renegade half-breed samurai Gonji Sabatake has left the survivors
of devastated Vedun, certain that his unknown Enemies---with their
mysterious agenda, their monsters and their sorcery---are gathering
strength for yet another attack on him and his allies. Seeking the
aid of misanthropic werewolf Simon Sardonis, Gonji treks into a
16th-century Spain wracked by eerie supernatural forces. Trapped by
his adversaries, Gonji is held captive by fanatical power in the
torture-dungeons of the Inquisition. He learns of the evil cabal that
enslaves multiple worlds and has wrought its venomous power in the
highest offices of the medieval Church.
, Condemned to burn at the stake, Gonji is mystically counseled by
a witch whose knowledge of sorcery and science compels him to somehow
escape. For he must lead a refugee army, under pursuit of human and
sorcerous assassins, in a flight across dark seas and into the
interior of darkest Africa. There, to seek a bizarre castle's gateway
to warped spatial anomalies, and learn his singular importance to the
destiny of a system of concentric worlds.
, But will that incredible revelation empower or destroy him?
Could any single warrior be expected to undertake the burden of such a
quest? And even with the uncertain help of the powerful lycanthrope
Simon, can Gonji survive the secrets of the... FORTRESS OF LOST
WORLDS?"
