Casca is cursed by Jesus on Golgotha and condemned to the immortal and brutal life of a soldier. His travels lead him to the land of the Vikings, where he gathers allies, and then west to Mexico, where he encounters love, danger, and mystical religions. After being captured by the Teotec Indians, he finds himself atop a great pyramid about to be sacrificed by a priest. CASCA deems himself an almighty God, the Teotec's Quetza, but can he survive the vicious torture and unbearable pain of having a knife plunged into his chest and his heart wrenched out of his body?

Thrown from a Viking ship in the midst of a treacherous storm in the Mediterranean, Casca barely escapes a watery grave, only to face a new adventure teeming with allies, adversaries, and religious fanatics. Fighting off enemies from Saxon raiders to the warring Hsuing-nu tribe, Casca travels from Rome to the Great Wall, where he seeks the wisdom of the Far Eastern culture, but meets up with a devious concubine, who has a battle plan of her own. Once again, Casca must face his eternal curse of immortality as THE WAR LORD.
