The ancient races, the Vadhagh and the Nhadragh, are dying. By creating Mankind, the universe has condemned Earth to a pestilence of destruction and fear. Prince Corum is the last remaining Vadhagh. He sets out on a crusade of vengeance against the forces that slaughtered his family and his race, to challenge the unjust power of the puppet masters of Man: the Lords of Chaos. Along the way he will barter with his soul for the limbs of gods to repair his mutilated body, and will encounter a member of the very race who caused the mutilation, the irresistible Rhalina...

A great Winter fell across the earth. Corum of the Silver Hand had slain the gods that Man might rule; the last of the Vadhagh. He had saved the race that had betrayed his own and he had earned his rest. However, it was not to be, for new gods now walk through the land. Corum takes up the moon-coloured sword with sorrow. To him falls the task of defeating the Fhoi Myore, the Cold Gods who yearn for death but cannot be slain.

Prince Corum Jhaelin Irsei: the Eternal Champion. With his plane at war with itself, thanks to the machinations and magic of Chaos, Prince Corum, his beloved Rhalina and the eternal companion Jhary-a-Conel must travel to the last five planes to confront Mabelode, the King of the Swords. Joining forces with other aspects of the Eternal Champion - Elric and Ereköse - Corum must rescue Rhalina from the Chaos Lord's minions before attempting to defeat the King of the Swords and free his plane from its madness. But the stakes are also personal for Corum, for the captain who commands the forces of chaos is the same savage Mabden who slaughtered Corum's family...
