Eine epische Saga über den Kampf zwischen Gut und Böse von einem begnadeten Autor! Der Dämonenkönig Asroth ist aus seinem eisernen Gefängnis entkommen. An der Seite seiner dunklen Braut Fritha steht er kurz davor, die Verfemten Lande mit einer Armee der Finsternis zu überschwemmen. Riv und die letzten Überlebenden der Ben-Elim versuchen verzweifelt, Widerstand gegen Asroth zu leisten, während weit im Westen Drem mit seinen Verbündeten vor der Vernichtung durch die Dämonen steht.

In einer Welt erbaut auf Blut und Knochen kann es keinen Frieden geben... Die Verfemten Lande haben den Krieg überstanden, doch die Herrschaft der siegreichen Ben-Elim wird bedroht. Die Anzeichen häufen sich, dass ihre Erzfeinde, brutale Dämonenwesen, zurückkommen. Im verschneiten Norden findet der Pelzjäger Drem zerfetzte Leichen im Wald - scheinbar Opfer schwarzer Magie. Im Süden gerät Riv, ein ungestümer junger Soldat, in einen Konflikt mit den Ben-Elim. Drem und Riv hüten Geheimnisse, die das Schicksal der Verfemten Lande verändern könnten.

Sie dachten, der Krieg sei vorüber. Doch nun wissen sie, dass sich der wahre Feind erst gegen sie erhebt... Die Welt der Menschen steht auf Messers Schneide: Drem und seine Freunde wurden Zeugen, wie sich einfache Menschen in reißende Bestien verwandelten und sich ein Dämon von den Toten erhob. Dessen Hohepriesterin Fritha ist den Gefährten nun auf den Fersen. Doch nicht nur von ihr droht Gefahr: Riv hütet ein Geheimnis, das die hochmütigen Ben-Elim stürzen könnte. Werden die jungen Helden ihr Land retten angesichts der sich erhebenden Dunkelheit?

The demon king Asroth has been freed from his iron prison. Now, alongside his dark bride, Fritha, he plans to conquer the whole of the Banished Lands. In the shadows of Forn Forest, Riv and the surviving Ben-Elim desperately search for a way to unite those who remain against Asroth's vast army. Far in the west, Drem is with the Order of the Bright Star, besieged by a demon horde. Their fragile defenses are on the brink of shattering, but they know that it is better to fight and die than to live without hope.

Events are coming to a climax in the Banished Lands, as the war reaches new heights. King Nathair has taken control of the fortress at Drassil and three of the Seven Treasures are in his possession. And together with Calidus and his ally Queen Rhin, Nathair will do anything to obtain the remaining Treasures. With all seven under his command, he can open a portal to the Otherworld. Then Asroth and his demon-horde will finally break into the Banished Lands and become flesh.

The Ben-Elim, a race of warrior angels, once vanquished a mighty demon horde. Now they rule the Banished lands. But their dominion is brutally enforced and their ancient enemy may not be as crushed as they thought. In the snowbound north, Drem, a trapper, finds mutilated corpses in the forests—a sign of demonic black magic. In the south, Riv, a young, tempestuous soldier, discovers a deadly rift within the Ben-Elim themselves. Two individuals with two world-changing secrets. But where will they lead?

Drem and his friends are haunted by the horrors they witnessed at the battle at Starstone Lake: the screams of men being warped into beasts and the sight of a demon rising from the dead. But worse than any memory is Fritha, the demons' deadly high priestess. And she is hunting them. Concealed in Forn Forest, Riv knows her very existence as a half-breed is a threat to the Ben-Elim. She represents their most dangerous secret - and if the warrior angels find her, they won't hesitate to silence her.

Le Terre dell'Esilio sono sconvolte dalla guerra e dal caos. L'astuta regina Rhin ha conquistato i regni occidentali e l'alto re Nathair possiede il calderone, il più potente tra i Sette Tesori. Nathair, inoltre, può contare sull'aiuto dello scaltro Calidus e di una banda di Kadoshim, temibili demoni dell'Oltremondo. Insieme cospirano per riportare in vita Asroth e il suo esercito di Caduti, ma per fare ciò hanno bisogno dei Sette Tesori. Nathair è stato ingannato ma adesso conosce la verità.

Nelle Terre dell'Esilio, le conseguenze della guerra hanno raggiunto il punto di non ritorno. Re Nathair controlla ormai la fortezza di Drassil, nascosta nel cuore della Foresta di Forn, e tre dei Sette Tesori sono nelle sue mani.

L'annosa guerra condotta dal re di Tenebral, Nathair, ha ormai devastato le Terre dell'Esilio. Insieme alla sua perfida e intrigante alleata, la regina Rhin di Cambren, i cui reali obiettivi sono sconosciuti allo stesso sovrano, il conquistatore percorre quelle immense lande con il suo esercito spietato, sterminando chiunque si opponga alla sua crociata e schiacciando sotto il suo giogo le genti sconfitte.

Soltanto perdendo coloro che ama, Corban imparerà il vero prezzo del coraggio. Le Terre dell'Esilio hanno un passato violento, in cui eserciti di uomini e di giganti si scontrarono in battaglia, scurendo la terra con il sangue nero dei loro cuori. Anche se i clan dei giganti sono stati spazzati via in ere ormai remote, le loro fortezze in rovina continuano a segnare come cicatrici la terra degli uomini.
