'Every known age has not ended well, to say the least.
Entire continents have been decimated time and time again at the hands of the demon hordes, forcing civilisation to start over in every instance – all culture and art and history destroyed.
Now, in the last days before the gates of hell fall open again, it seems as if all efforts to avert disaster have failed…
- but for one small sliver of hope.
A boy is found whose potential is unequalled; a boy who could hold the secret to the demons’ realm; a boy who could be the very salvation of man.
But not even the Order’s greatest champions could guess the true secrets hidden away deep inside of this boy; secrets that could ultimately destroy them all.' [From the publisher's website]

'She has come from across the sea, cast from a land in its final throes of destruction.
War and conflict have blighted the world, spreading to every far corner under the shadow of the demon king. On the continent of Amandia, the Order of Magicians, dwindling in strength and number, struggles to defend the Turian Empire from an overwhelming sea of foes.
In their final hour of need, Samuel, Champion of the Order and Saviour of Cintar, is sent on a mission of the Empire’s final hope – slay the eternal witch-queen and return the kidnapped heir to the throne.
- but the Circle of Eyes seems to have long laid plans for everyone, spread like a web across the world.
Struggling with the loss of his magic, Samuel must rely on the unstoppable force of the Argum Stone – a relic from the time of the Ancients that threatens to destroy him with its every use. He must uncover the secrets of his own destiny if he is to control what lurks inside of him, marking him apart from all other magicians… except one.' [From the publisher's website]

'For time immeasurable they have stood upon the earth like pillars of darkness, casting their shadows across the land. Minions of the Demon King, they were left behind to oversee humanity: guardians of the sacred flock.
'Samuel, last of the Magician Lords, must hunt them down if he is to save his son, before their master returns to reap his savage harvest. The valiant survivors of Amandia join his side, embarking on an epic voyage to seal the demon gate and free mankind of its eternal curse.
'With each battle, Samuel risks being overcome by the evil trapped within him, teetering on the brink of becoming something far worse than any of them could imagine.'
