We survived the first invasion. That does not mean we were right.
Humans stood alone when the world nearly ended.
When the first invasion came, demons poured across the Frontier and the sky burned for days. The elves did not march. The dwarves did not answer. Humanity created the Alchemists-beings of impossible power-and drove the empire back beyond the Wall.
Then, fearing what they had made, they erased them.
Now dungeons open along the border once more. Monsters gather. Patterns emerge.
Lisa Veyra was once a Scout-Captain tasked with hunting lost souls in the dark corners of human lands. After a confrontation with a power that should not exist, she is removed from command and buried in silence-just as whispers of a second invasion begin to spread.
The other races believe humanity will defend the world again.
Humanity believes it has earned the right to rule it.
When an ancient spirit from the first war shows itself as Kaelis' blade-one that remembers survival and now demands vengeance-she is given the power to act.
But this time, the greatest threat may not be the demons beyond the Wall.
It may be what humanity is willing to become.
