Publisher's Synopsis
The chaos magic of demons strives to break free of primeval shackles. And Shar Fei, born to restore the empire, might instead unleash anarchy...

Shar sparked the rebellion, and now has two massive armies. But the tyrannical shamans she seeks to overthrow have as much. Conflict is coming such as the empire has not seen since the Shadowed Wars. Yet more dangerous still is the secret she holds. The demon in her twin swords talks to her. She needs them to win. It wants her mind as an entry back into the world. The battle for her soul mirrors the battle for the empire. And the gods, to prevent demons unloosing chaos into the world, condemn Shar to death...
