Synopsis
Medalon has surrendered to the Karien invaders, Tarja is once more an outcast, and the Defenders have scattered; their only hope lies with Damin Wolfblade and his Hythrun army, and with R'shiel, the demon child, who must at last accept what she is. Returning to the hidden sanctuary of the Harshini, the race her mother's Sisterhood tried to exterminate, she learns the price of the destiny prophesied for her, to destroy the god Xaphista, whose priests rule Karien, and the help and hindrance she can expect from the capricious Primal Gods and their demons. The third novel closes the Demon Child trilogy with the fate of Medalon, the Harshini and the gods themselves in the balance, and sets up the prequel trilogy about Damin's mother.

Notes
- From the series record (Demon Child): The first Hythrun trilogy (2000-2001): R'shiel, the demon child, Tarja of the Defenders and the atheist Sisterhood of Medalon, as Karien's god-driven invasion and the hidden Harshini draw the kingdoms into the gods' quarrel.
