ENEMIES AT THE GATES… AND A DEMON WITHIN. Something sinister is creeping over the northern duchy of Gramarye. Fleeing refugees carry rumors of a warlock army conquering barony after barony, invading and controlling the minds of innocent people. Rod Gallowglass, the Lord High Warlock of Gramarye, is sent to investigate, accompanied by his wife and children. Who is behind all the turmoil? The mysterious sorcerer Alfar who frightened peasants whisper about? Or something even worse? But before he can confront the rebel warlocks, Rod must find a way to reign in his violent, explosive temper. If he loses control at the wrong moment, he’ll lose more than his temper, he’ll lose his head-or, worse, his family!
