The cage will kill you. And if it doesn't, well, then thirst and the blistering heat of the desert sure as hell will. Or drive you insane.
Few survive the cage. Fewer still live to face the whipping post. Of those who do, few are in a state to know what is happening to them. One who does is an ex-sergeant in the egion ‚trangere. A stubborn, insubordinate son-of-a-bitch, Sven Tveskoeg feels the first lash fall, hears the desert tribes attack, and watches them slaughter his comrades.
Rescued from certain death, Sven joins the tribes. Until his ruthless skills come to the attention of the Death's Head, an infamous and feared elite special ops force. They want Sven to sort out an impending military disaster. However all is not as it should be: Sven is a pawn in a deadly game, and pawns have a bad habit of being sacrificed. But Second Lieutenant Tveskoeg, Obsidian Cross 3rd Class, is nobody's sacrifice. And even a pawn can checkmate a king.
