The Temples thought they'd defeated the demon scourge and drove them back to their dimension a century ago. But the demons never left... The pardon from the queen of Issura didn't bring the freedom Anthea, chief justice of Orrin, had hoped. Instead, she and Luc are drafted to investigate the Temples in the city of Tandor. Not only has the city's high brother of Light been implicated in the demon conspiracy, Anthea's fellow justice has been sending reports that are just a little too perfect. But their initial mission takes a backseat when a high-ranking foreign priest informs them renegades smuggled a cache of demon eggs into Tandor. And if those eggs hatch, the demons will devour the world. How can Anthea and Luc stop the renegades when they don't know who to trust? Magic and mayhem have never been this dangerous. Or this deadly.
