Dungeons & Dragons / Irvine, Alexander

A part-time slave hunter and full-time dune trader is hired to bring back Grudvik, a gladiator who has escaped his imprisonment in the city of Tyr, but eventually the two will find themselves joining forces to survive in the desert.

On the post-apocalyptic planet Athas, an imprisoned gladiator, Grudvik, escapes captors intent on selling him into slavery and a dune trader and part-time bounty hunter, Aki, catches up with him, intending to capture him for the bounty. Instead, the pair find that they need each other to survive the desert crossing and they find a quest for treasure that provides additional incentive to stay together. Includes a Dungeons & Dragons game adventure.
