Leaving a world of fast motorcycles and cold beer, Sonja returns to a more familiar setting of swords and magic and mead. At a nearby tavern she learns strange magic is afoot in this land, and a desperate priest is offering mercenaries some serious gold for a dangerous job. But something doesn't seem right...
Sonja's back in her correct time, searching for Kulan Gath, but encountering other evils. Since its debut this series has been fun and continues to be so. Even in her familiar world, Sonja is a force to be reckoned with. The adventure and humor, combined with exceptional visuals, make this a series to follow. Long live Sonja! Read Full Review
