Dragons and the Demonomicon – the most complete volume of demon-summoning spells in the online RPG world of the Shattered Lands – weren’t enough for Eric. In his quest for power, he’s summoned something he can’t control. Now Eric and his allies march forth to war – and Daniel and Mira, a hero and a dark elf, are the only things standing in his path. The game plays out in both the Shattered Lands and the real world, as crime begets crime and betrayal follows betrayal.
