'It ought to be illegal for one person to have so much talent' - Stephen R. Donaldson

After escaping from the slave-galleys of the bloodthirsty Murghai, Korendir, a man whose past is shrouded in mystery, sets off on a series of extraordinary quests: to battle the sorcereress Anthei; to challenge the elemental Cyondide and win the lost hoard of the dragon Sharkash; to free the people of Northengard from the wereleopards that are decimating their population.

Always Korendir's goal is treasure: but never for its own sake. A driven man, Korendir is determined to build a fortress at Whitestorm, impregnable against all comers, be they human or supernatural, to protect himself - its master - from the dark secret of his ancestry...
