Description
IN A TIME WHEN RIVERS AND MOUNTAINS WERE WORSHIPED. WHEN GODS AND DEMONS WALKED THE EARTH
Saga of a warrior who refused to kneel before the powerful priests of a vampire serpent cult.
Dark. Visionary. Erotic. Adventure.
513 BC - The Black Sea region is inhabited by fierce nomads who drink blood from human skulls. Their exotic women are called Amazons because they ride, hunt and fight in battle.
Sava's ambitious, baseborn brother HAHQ has joined the quest to convince 7 warring tribes of headhunters, werewolves, cannibals and vampires (who all hate each other) to attend the great Council of War to forge an alliance against the Persian empire. Though an unrecognized son, Hahq craves his father's fame and power as Voivode, War Leader. And he will do anything to get it. Even give up the woman he loves.
Though vastly outnumbered, the Barbarians are betting on their superior war horses, tactics and weapons. Both horse and rider are protected with flexible scale armor. The first tanks. Riders carry 14 foot lances topped with 18" iron blades. The first knights.
King Darius of Persia addresses his vast army of 700,000 - `Now we go to war against the Scythians. They have no cities, no farms. They produce Nothing. These Barbarians live by Raiding and WAR. They are but Parasites upon the face of the earth! By the Will of Ahura Mazda we will Punish them for their Evil Ways!'
`By the Will of Ahura Mazda, we will PUNISH these Barbarians!' The Persian army roars.
King Darius says - `Persia is the mightiest empire on earth! WE have conquered 23 nations, including great Egypt and Babylon. We will crush these Barbarians and take Everything from them! They are rich in gold, fast horses, good land and beautiful women! And YOU my valiant warriors, will ALL get a share! What say you?'
`By the Will of Ahura Mazda, So Be It! We will TAKE Everything from Them!' Darius' army roars in affirmation.
Meanwhile Sava is racing for his life, trying to escape enraged Black Cloak warriors - `I am a fool! I was sent to persuade the Black Cloaks to join the alliance. Instead I let my heart guide me and stole their sacrifice to Veles, the Black Serpent. A mortal SIN. Now they scream for my death. My people could be lost for the LIFE of ONE MAN. And He may not even Live!'
Sava The Barbarian explores the ancient Blood and Human Sacrifice cults. Was it all just superstitious fear, drugs and mass hypnosis? Or was there a kernel of truth to their ancient spirituality?
RIVER GOD is based on Herodotus' account of the Persian invasion of Scythia in 513 BC.
