Lord Darios is a sorcerer, a vile dealer in necromancy. Banished by the Wizards' Council or Order of the Earth-powered, he seeks revenge: the conquering of all Calebra.
Unaided, Darios' earth-power is awesome, but with the Ice-Fire of Calebra, a huge landia crystal capable of amplifying his powers, he and his demon armies could prove invincible.
Calebra's only hope is Palendar's warlord, Valias. He is a deadly Warrior of Darkness, a master of deadly combat arts, and a brilliant general. But can he lead his warriors against the endless demon horde of the sorcerer and hold them back long enough to be able to face Darios, himself?
Armed with a power-sword created for him by the wizard, Taronlas, a master's blade, but with a hilt made of purest landia crystal, he must pit his skills against the greatest master of wizardry and sorcery his people have ever seen.
