The Evil Ennead Russ L Howard

Nine Commissars compose the evil Ennead of Pitterdom. Next in power to the Emperor Hryre Seath and the Blind Seer Katus are the Nine Workers of Iniquity, chosen by the Emperor to push the boundaries of the Empire and force all freedom loving people into the yoke of tyranny. Their cruelty is unexcelled, their loyalty unshakeable. They are bent on crushing all enemies of the Emperor and destroying the prophesied "Seed of the Woman." They have endless Legions and an impenetrable bastion. They have horrid monsters at their disposal, werebats, gyrlocks, drogs, and bone crushing typhons. Who is the Seed of the Woman and will she truly possess the power to bring down an entire Empire? Ruhm's cavalry is indispensable for the campaign to defeat the Ennead. If successful, they will pave the way for Sur Sceaf to deliver his armies safely into the core of enemy territory. But Ruhm's rakish behavior puts certain ladies' honor into question, stirring up the wrath of the local militia-men, who seek a pound of his flesh in payment. The Gods will prove Ruhm. Only the seductive Mountain Witch has the power to save him. These are the final days of the Great War. The future of humanity depends on the defeat of Hryre Seath and the Evil Ennead.
