Demon hordes surge through dimensional barriers, targeting the world of Midkemia with unprecedented force. The invasion comes from a realm beyond mortal understanding, bringing creatures that threaten to overwhelm every defense the kingdom has built. Midkemia's champions face an enemy unlike any they have encountered before. These demons possess powers drawn from their alien dimension, making traditional warfare inadequate against their assault. The heroes must navigate political intrigue and personal betrayals even as the supernatural threat grows stronger. Ancient alliances crumble under pressure while new conflicts emerge between those who should stand united. The fate of Midkemia hangs in the balance as its defenders struggle to comprehend an enemy that operates by completely foreign rules. This marks the opening volume of the DemonWar Saga, where courage alone may not be enough to save a world under siege.
