A dark lord will rise. Such is the prophecy that dogs Ringil
Eskiath--Gil, for short--a washed-up mercenary and onetime war hero
whose cynicism is surpassed only by the speed of his sword. Gil is
estranged from his aristocratic family, but when his mother enlists
his help in freeing a cousin sold into slavery, Gil sets out to
track her down. But it soon becomes apparent that more is at stake
than the fate of one young woman. Grim sorceries are awakening in
the land. Some speak in whispers of the return of the Aldrain, a
race of widely feared, cruel yet beautiful demons. Now Gil and two
old comrades are all that stand in the way of a prophecy whose
fulfillment will drown an entire world in blood. But with heroes
like these, the cure is likely to be worse than the disease.
