A destroyed home. An ancient evil reborn. A power that could burn the world—or save it.
Conrad’s quiet life in the Northlands ends in a single night of terror. Saved from the ashes of his home by a band of mercenaries, he leaves his youth behind to learn the ruthless trade of war as a squire to the men who rescued him.
For years, the world believed demons had been hunted to near extinction. But when two monstrous entities slaughter their way across the Principality, the illusion of peace shatters. Pressed into service as demon hunters, Conrad and his comrades follow a deadly trail of clues to stop an unseen enemy from reclaiming its ancient strength.
As the demons gather power, the monarchs of the Middle Sea assemble their armies for a desperate last stand, force of arms alone will not be enough. Time is running out for Conrad to tame the ancient blood surging through his own veins.
To stop the coming dark, Conrad must face and defeat not only the demons without, but also the demons within.
