Military might and arcane power clash in Django Wexler's thrilling new
Shadow Campaigns novel.
The Beast, the ancient demon imprisoned beneath the fortress-city of
Elysium for a thousand years, has been loosed on the world. It absorbs
mind after mind, spreading like a plague through the north. The fell
army it has raised threatens the heart of Vordan, and it is under the
command of the Beast's greatest prize: legendary general Janus bet
Vhalnich.
As Queen Raesinia Orboan and soldiers Marcus D'Ivoire and Winter
Ihernglass grapple with the aftermath of a hard-fought military
campaign, they soon discover a betrayal they never could have foreseen.
The news arrives like a thunderbolt: Janus has declared himself the
rightful Emperor of Vordan. Chaos grips the city as officers and
regiments are forced to declare for queen or emperor.
Raesinia must struggle to keep her country under control and risks
becoming everything she fought against. Marcus must take the field
against his old commander, a man who has seemed an unbeatable
strategist. And as Winter recovers from her injuries and mourns her
losses, she knows the demon she carries inside her might be the only
thing standing between the Beast and the destruction of everything in
its path....
