You can have everything you want if you sacrifice everything you believe. Kihrin D'Mon is a wanted man. Since he destroyed the Stone of Shackles and set demons free across Quur, he has been on the run from the wrath of an entire empire. His attempt to escape brings him into the path of Janel Theranon, a mysterious Joratese woman who claims to know Kihrin. Janel's plea for help pits Kihrin against all manner of dangers: a secret rebellion, a dragon capable of destroying an entire city, and Kihrin's old enemy, the wizard Relos Var.

Anahrod lives only for survival, forging her own way through the harsh jungles of the Deep with her titan drake by her side. Even when an adventuring party saves her from capture by a local warlord, she is eager to return to her solitary life. But this is no ordinary rescue. It’s Anahrod’s past catching up with her. These cunning misfits—and their frustratingly appealing dragonrider ringleader—intend to spirit her away to the dragon-ruled sky cities, where they need her help to steal from a dragon’s hoard.

Relos Var's final plans to enslave the universe are on the cusp of fruition. He believes there's only one being in existence that might be able to stop him: the demon Xaltorath. As these two masterminds circle each other, neither is paying attention to the third player on the board, Kihrin. Unfortunately, keeping himself classified in the "pawn" category means Kihrin must pretend to be everything the prophecies threatened he'd become: the destroyer of all, the sun eater, a mindless, remorseless plague upon the land.

Now that Relos Var’s plans have been revealed and demons are free to rampage across the empire, the fulfillment of the ancient prophecies - and the end of the world - is closer than ever. To buy time for humanity, Kihrin needs to convince the king of the Manol vané to perform an ancient ritual which will strip the entire race of their immortality, but it’s a ritual which certain vané will do anything to prevent. Including assassinating the messengers.

In the aftermath of the Ritual of Night, everything has changed. The Eight Immortals have catastrophically failed to stop Kihrin's enemies, who are moving forward with their plans to free Vol Karoth, the King of Demons. Kihrin has his own ideas about how to fight back, but even if he's willing to sacrifice everything for victory, the cost may prove too high for his allies.

For fans of S.A. Chakraborty, Robin Hobb, and Martha Wells's Witch King, a riveting standalone fantasy of necromancy and magical mayhem from Jenn Lyons, the acclaimed author of The Ruin of Kings. Centuries ago, necromancy almost destroyed the world. That’s how history remembers it. History...

Kihrin, l'apprendista di un bardo, è cresciuto ascoltando storie di gesta leggendarie. Costretto a rubare per sopravvivere alla povertà dei bassifondi di Quur, una sera fa irruzione nella casa sbagliata e viene marchiato da un demone: da quel momento in avanti la sua vita non sarà più la stessa. La difficile situazione di Kihrin lo porta al cospetto dei reali, che lo rivendicano come il figlio del loro principe perduto da tempo.

Während die Dämonen durch das Empire wüten, treten die finsteren Pläne des Zauberers Relos Vars immer offener zutage. So rückt die Erfüllung der alten Prophezeiung - und damit das Ende der Welt - näher denn je zuvor. Um Zeit zu gewinnen, versucht Kihrin den König der Manol Vané zu überzeugen ein uraltes Ritual durchzuführen. Es betrifft die Unsterblichkeit dieses ganzen Volkes der Elben. Und Kihrin muss verzweifelt wahrhaben, dass er immer tiefer in die Verbindung zu dem Dämonenkönig Vol Karoth verstrickt ist.

Nachdem Kihrin D'Mon den Kaiser von Quur getötet hat, ist er selbst in höchster Gefahr. Seit er den Schellenstein zerstört und im Land Quur die Dämonen freigelassen hat, muss er vor dem Zorn eines ganzen Kaiserreichs fliehen, vor allem aber vor seinem alten Feind, dem Zauberer Relos Var. Dieser hat eines der mächtigsten Artefakte der Welt in seinem Besitz. Wenn er schafft, es zu benutzen, dann kann niemand mehr verhindern, dass der alte Zauberer sich holt, was er will. Und er will Kihrin D'Mon.
