Raza battles storms at sea, harsh winter and desert conditions, Moslem raiders, Transylvanian warlords, German mercenaries, and Pagan Polish armies to quell the violence of the Medieval world. To do this, he is aided by his friends from the present, Beauregard the magical cat, and his human partner, and those of his time, especialy Ejaz, his long time first mate. In addition, his sons Michael and Johnathan play a large part in his success during the wars he fights for the Pope, and for the Emperor. During this period, Raza/Hermann meets and marries his second wife, who stands by him through all of his trials and joys. The action never stops, as Raza/Hermann goes from one battle to the next, in his quest to serve those to whom he is pledged, and to live a life of honor.
