Night Maiden

Kamatari and Minoru have accepted a contract, and this could be the one to end them all. In the wreckage of an enemy city lies a book that tells of the end of the world. They must find it and use what's inside on a dangerous trek to save all of Orloins once again.

In a land devastated by plague, invaders, and lawless brigands, magic has all but disappeared, and the masses live in misery and depravity. But a strange young maiden appears with a powerful gift and a promise to restore the rightful king to the throne of Orloins and a magical order to the world. But her gift may come at high risk - to herself and her people.

Warriors don't always win, and good does not always prevail in a world of war and bloodshed. The young maiden that was once the hope of a nation has fallen to the enemy, and the king continues his tyrannical reign over a once great land of magic. While all hope appears to be lost, old ones begin to awaken at the shifting tides of the world, and they could be the final turning point of it all.

The generations-long war is coming to a head. Pucelle, the Necromancer Maiden who once led armies to victory, is now a prisoner of Orloins' mortal enemy and abandoned by the man she helped put on the throne. Mallory, the inventor who sought to end the war by giving his people an overwhelming technological advantage, has watched his battalion of Dragon's Breaths destroyed and his people betrayed by a madman. Now, the Order of the Serapahim, the once-powerful cabal of secretive wizards, has returned with a plan that could mean the end for both sides.
