The veil to the underworld has been torn. Damned creatures stalk the land, seeking to consume all life. The world teeters on the edge of disaster.
The first wizard rises in power, with each day birthing new discoveries that expand his abilities. Will his magic prove sufficient when the fate of the world is at stake?
With the Paragon found, light shines in the hearts of our heroes, but even the hope found in that discovery is darkened by shadow. An enemy has risen – an army of mindless monsters whose numbers are beyond counting.
They are not alone. Something evil and cunning drives this bloodthirsty horde. This twisted villain is unlike any other, and the threat it presents is more daunting than anything ever imagined. Should it continue unchecked, all life will be consumed and the souls of its victims will be lost forever.
Can the first wizard and his band of heroes stand against the might of a god from another realm?
