Review:
Great continuation of the Demonwar Saga. In this book, which I think takes place about one year after "Rides a Dread Legion", an agent of Pug's Conclave of the Shadows, Jim Dasher, stumbles upon the remnants of a horrific and bloody ritual used to summon demons. Reporting his finding back to the Conclave, Pug, Magnus, Amirantha, Sandreena, Gulamendis, Laromendis and others continue their search into the archives of the past to try and find out exactly what is happening in the Demon Realm. Their discovery proves to even the most learned Demon Masters that the Demon realms organization was far more brutal than what they could have ever suspected. With a little help from an ancient demon text and Pug's grandfather, the Conclave is able to discover where the rift to the Demon Realm lies. However once there, Amirantha's worst suspicions come true, not only is Belasco behind the newly attempted demon invasion of Midkemia, but he has actually allowed a demon to gain partial control over his body. The final battle ensures the power hungry demon's ability to infiltrate Midkemia is delayed, but more is yet to come. This book is a great read, quick paced, engaging, with some pretty witty dialogue.
