Talon lost his memory in the Dungeon of the Forgotten. He escaped that acursed place with the young girl Leyli, only to be set upon by bandits who wounded him and kidnapped her to satisfy their foul lust. Now he has only one thing on his mind: to rescue her from the bandits at any cost, even if he has to slay every last one of them. It seems an impossible task, but Talon has a strength not shared by any man: he has the power to transform at will into a demon.
Pursued by a mighty paladin of Kaul as well as the enigmatic Haunted Woman, Talon traverses the valley of Sorathale, growing ever closer to the fortress of the Black Dart Clan where Leyli is imprisoned. Before his journey is through, lives will be changed forever, and Talon will discover allies where he never thought to look.
