Built from the skulls of fallen generals and demon princes, it is a seat of honor and ancient, powerful magic, keeping the demon corelings at bay. From atop the throne, Ahmann Jardir was meant to conquer the known world, forging its isolated peoples into a unified army to rise up and end the demon war once and for all. But Arlen Bales, the Warded Man, stood against this course, challenging Jardir to a duel he could not in honor refuse.

On the night of the new moon, the demons rise in force, seeking the deaths of two men, both of whom have the potential to become the fabled Deliverer, the man prophesied to reunite the scattered remnants of humanity in a final push to destroy the demon corelings once and for all.

The sun is setting on humanity. The night now belongs to voracious demons that prey upon a dwindling population forced to cower behind half-forgotten symbols of power. Legends tell of a Deliverer: a general who once bound all mankind into a single force that defeated the demons. But is the return of the Deliverer just another myth? Perhaps not.

Each night, the world is overrun by bloodthirsty demons. For centuries, humanity survived only by hiding behind defensive wards - magical symbols with the power to repel the demons. Now, the rediscovery of long-forgotten combat wards has given them the magic they need to fight back. In Tibbet’s Brook, the fighting wards have brought change, but the factions and grudges of a troubled past remain. Selia Square, the woman they call Barren, has long been the force that holds the Brook together. As a terrifying new threat emerges, she rallies her people once again.

Depuis des temps immémoriaux, des démons assoiffés de sang rôdent dans les ténèbres. L'espèce humaine, décimée, dépend pour se protéger d'une magie en bonne partie oubliée. En cherchant à unir la population pour mener la guerre ultime contre les chtoniens, Arlen et Jardir ont incité ceux-ci à se multiplier aux quatre coins de Thesa. L'humanité ne peut espérer survivre, à moins qu'Arlen, Jardir et Renna obligent le fourbe prince démon qu'ils ont fait prisonnier à les guider vers le Cœur.

Le Trône de Crâne, symbole de pouvoir tenant les chtoniens à distance, est vacant. Son occupant, Ahmann Jardir, a disparu lorsque l'Homme-rune s'est dressé sur son chemin. Depuis, une guerre de succession menace de terrasser les Villes Libres de Thesa. Pendant ce temps, la force des chtoniens grandit et, en l'absence d'Arlen et d'Ahmann, il se pourrait que personne ne soit de taille à les arrêter. Seule Renna Bales sait peut-être ce qu'il est advenu des deux frères ennemis, mais elle semble elle aussi s'être volatilisée...
