A human man, John Daker, has troubling dreams. He discovers that he is an incarnation of the Eternal Champion, and his name is Erekose.

Erekose and his great sword is to be the key figure in a war between the humans and the alien Eldren, but what Erekose has to work out, is humanity who he should really be fighting to save?

The title is also used for a larger collection of books including Corum, Elric, Runestaff etc.. At least two publishers (White Wolf and Millennium) have produced series called "The Tale of the Eternal Champion" containing most or all of this larger collection in omnibus editions.

The White wolf version contains The Eternal Champion, The Sundered Worlds (aka The Blood red Game)(1965), Phoenix in Obsidian, and To Rescue Tanelorn.
