Jon is assisted on his quest by two new friends: Mandy Blackthorn, a beautiful ranger of the forests, and Alison d'Ambrose, a powerful magic user. To save their own lives from demons, they must unravel the mystery of the war; they must find out who is behind it and why. But their troubles have just begun. Ultimately, they must face both the Arch-devil Dispater and the Goddess of War, Morrigan â€" an explosive combination with their souls at stake.
