The She-Devil with a Sword has dealt out death many times in her travels, and she has learned through bitter experience that blood which is spilled can never be entirely washed away - and sometimes it can come back to haunt you.

After she killed the Sultan of Turan, his kingdom dissolved into a bloody chaos of serpent cults and rivals warlords vying to claim his throne. With Turan's collapse into anarchy weighing heavily on her mind, Sonja returns to save the Sultan's true heir and bring peace to the land - at least, that's the plan.

But she is not the only one hunting the boy. An undead assassin called Bloodless is stalking her every step, and he intends to force Red Sonja to face her inner demons - whether she likes it or not!

Veteran Sonja scribe LUKE LIEBERMAN (Red Sonja: Birth of the She-Devil) is joined by rising art star ALBERTO LOCATELLI (Vampirella: Dead Flowers) for a rousing tale of adventure that also tallies the costs exacted by the path of the sword! Issues 1 thru 4 of the series.
