On the east coast of antediluvian Africa, the warrior Rogan escapes the gallows via the magicks of a wizard. She professes to be the spirit of Jezebel Lilith, a mage that has traveled back in time to learn the location of an enchanted sword.
Thinking her mad, Rogan tries to find his partner on his journey, the spearman Thyssen. Learning Thyssen has been sold up the river to be part of a sacrifice at the temple of Dagon, Rogan vows to free him.
Rogan is accompanied by Lilith and her group of warriors, along with a shaman from the gallows, Oliver Haddo, who also claims to be from the future.
Upriver at the temple of Dagon, as a volcano rumbles, Rogan encounters wizards and others seeking to trigger a terror that will create children to guard the sleeping place afar off at R'lyeh for their god, Cthulhu.
A tale of action, twisted wizards, and Lovecraft mythos, BLADESPELL shows that sometimes those that manipulate others often get more than they bargained for.
