Demon-fire burns, but can it save?
Jackson McCade's vow-scars pulse with infernal flame. As King's Eye and Hellspawn Knight, he's mastered his dark power-mostly.
When meltdown-laced forging brings deadly illusions to Bashara, Jackson must confront a lost prince's revenge. Seradin plots to destroy the monarchy through runic magic, while the trickster Farn weaves chaos with his cameo.
With elven archer Riven and roguish Luke at his side, Jackson descends into labyrinthine catacombs beneath the city. He must harness his demon-fire with perfect control-unleashing too little leaves illusions unchecked, too much could reduce Bashara to ash.
The dwarves watch with suspicion. The King lies weakened by phantom chains. Every corridor hides twisted constructs and deadly illusions.
Can Jackson master the holy flame within before Seradin's Night Shackle enslaves the royal bloodline forever? Or will his own power consume what he's trying to save?
