When a demon descended on the Kingdom of Tarquin young Prince Jairin fled the castle to save himself from the fate that took his father and mother. The demon left behind a trail of carnage and death destroying everything he touched. Twenty years later Jairin has been living a quiet life among the monks in a distant monastery-until a stranger bangs on the front door telling of a rising shadow that has destroyed the villages to the south. Jairin and the stranger stitch together a company to reclaim the Princes birthright but they must deal with the demon long hidden in the shadows if Jairin and his company are to live finally in peace.
