Aric of Dacia's bone-crushing climb to the throne of an alien world earned him scores of allies... and a legion of scorned enemies. Now, stripped of his crown and cast out of his kingdom, the man known as X-O Manowar must return to his roots as a sword-wielding warrior of Earth if he is to survive the relentless band of intergalactic bounty hunters that have been hired to kill him cold. But with few places left to turn, could the last Visigoth's best hope be the all-powerful... but insidious... weapon he once swore away: the X-O Manowar armor?
