Hadrian and his Red Company have been serving the Empire in military engagements against the Cielcin, the vicious alien civilisation bent on humanity's destruction. And they've been successful: a cult-like fervour building around Hadrian following a particularly impressive victory. But popularity comes at a price: an assassination attempt, triggered by those within the Imperial government who are scared of his rise to prominence.

Valdar, heir to the throne of Dhulon, was in the fabled city-state of Schaerisa to pay his kingdom's respects to the recently deceased co-emperor. But then he ran into his old mentor, the sorcerer Nyrthim - who was supposed to be dead. The sorcerer's death had been faked so that he could be free to investigate tales that demons, once banished, were returning to the world. And unfortunately, the tales understated the danger.

After a demon is narrowly defeated (in FUHAMMER, book one of this series), everyone wants to know how it overcame defenses that had held for over a thousand years. Logan investigates the scattered clues with the help of the fairies and leprechauns. Many findings don’t seem to fit how magic is supposed to work. Perhaps this was a one-time anomaly, never to be repeated or understood.
