"When the prize is a Ring of the Dead, murder is a small price to pay! Stealing the comatose body of Wolfina's brother (and the Ring buried inside it), Balmunk the mystic lures our heroes to his deadly circus, where fire-breathers and knife-throwers await them. Has master swordsman Gamma Akutabi finally met a foe worthy of his skills? As the circus train races across the desert, Wolfina struggles to free her brother's body before it becomes an ingredient in Balmunk's recipe for immortality. But the ride isn't over yet...
