This is the story of Ulrich von Bek, a cynical mercenary who sells
his skills as a soldier in the wars taking place all over Europe.
After the particularly horrific destruction of a city in which he
played a role, von Bek decides to desert the military company he
was working for and travel alone for awhile before seeking further
employment. On his solo journey, he happens upon a castle where he
takes refuge with - and then falls in love with - the keeper of the
castle, the beautiful Sabrina. It is in this castle that he meets
Lucifer, the master of Hell, and finds out that his soul is already
destined for Hell. And so, in exchange for his soul, von Bek agrees
to go on a quest for Lucifer, namely to find the Cure for the
World's Pain. This quest is also known as the Search for the Holy
Grail. As von Bek travels around Europe on his impossible quest, he
will find himself caught up in wars, politics, intrigue and
romance. But he can never forget his purpose - or the terrible
bargain he has made with the devil... Contains THE WARHOUND AND THE
WORLD'S PAIN and THE CITY IN THE AUTUMN STARS.
