   Summary

   What happened before Red Sonja became the legend?

   Set in the classic Marvel-era continuity, this original novel explores an undocumented period of Sonja's early life and offers a canon-conscious reconstruction of some of the character's most enduring mysteries, including the origins of her oath, the iconic armor, her outlook on love, and the path that forged the She-Devil with a Sword.
