This is a description of the story.
"He challenged the fury of Lucifer's Reign! Brought to the world of
mortal man through the evil incantations of the powerful Jord, the
mighty warrior Raum battled through the frigid wastelands of
Everspring...defied the bloodthirsty Viking hordes...felled the finest
knights of Camelot...and matched his powers against the magic of
Morgan Le Fey in his quest for the sorcerer Merlin, the one mortal who
could wrest the centuries-old burden from Raum's great shoulders. But
Raum paid a terrible price for his visitation to the world of man. No
longer would he be invulnerable on the field of battle. No longer
would demon-like powers of sorcery be his to command. And as Asteroth
had warned, he was about to face that which made mortal man most
vulnerable...."
