Black Amazon of Mars

Stark, a hardened Earthman, trudges across the frozen wastes of Mars, pursued by the relentless Ciaran hordes and haunted by the cursed talisman of Ban Cruach that burns at his side. His path leads toward the ruins of an ancient city, a place of forgotten power where ice‑born creatures linger in the shadows. The stark landscape and looming stone walls set a bleak stage for a desperate race against time.

Beside him, Camar, a dying Martian warrior, clings to the hope of reaching Kushat, the legendary stronghold that controls the planet’s fate. In his final moments he reveals a stolen relic—a complex crystal lens linked to the mythic Gates of Death and the vanished god‑king Ban Cruach. The enigmatic artifact hints at a hidden strength that could turn the tide, but its purpose remains a mystery. As the two companions press onward, the frozen city looms, promising both peril and the chance to unlock long‑lost secrets.
