The Banished Lands are ruled by the Ben-Elim—legendary warrior angels who defeated a demon horde a century ago. But peace is a blade held to the throat, and darkness stirs beneath its edge.
Riv longs to prove herself worthy of joining the Ben-Elim, but a shocking discovery shatters her faith. In the west, the giantess Sig investigates rumors of demons—and finds blood, black magic, and signs of something far worse. And in the frozen north, a quiet trapper named Drem stumbles upon mutilated bodies that point to an ancient evil returning.
As loyalties splinter and threats rise, the fragile peace begins to crack.
In this gripping epic fantasy, old enemies aren’t vanquished—they’re merely waiting. And now, it’s their time of dread.
