Crown of the Sundered Empire

Only the demon in Tomas" glass eye can save his village.

It might cost him his soul.

In a broken land where conquerors dream of empires, Tomas dreams of a day when the townsfolk won"t taunt him. After all, he"s the fishing village kid with a misshapen face.

Only the Rune vendor"s daughter treats him well. To win her heart, he relies on a quick wit and local superstitions to convince her he has Diviner"s Sight.

But if he did, he would"ve foreseen magic-fearing invaders plucking out his mismatched eye.

Or the demon trapped in the glass replacement. It reveals a world beyond human vision, while whispering temptations in his mind.

Now, with his village caught between the advancing armies of the Sun God"s mortal descendants and His Chosen People, Tomas must use a combination of calculation, cunning, and demonic insight to maneuver the forces of his world against each other—prince against prince, princess against princess, army against army—or see his home crushed forever beneath the wheels of war.

But to do so carries a dire risk.

Because using a demon could condemn your soul.
