Ash Thibodeaux has spent her entire life in the shadow of the Dragon, feeling its hot breath drift across her soul in stories regaled by her aging Gram. The tales and fables that are woven in the dark could chill a heart... if Ash didn't have a darker knowledge... and task. Demons wash through the land, possessing friends and strangers alike, and Ash is the only one that can see, or stop, them. Burdened with a voodoo infused sword and skills honed from a lifetime of training, the slight girl moonlights as an anonymous hunter, until a sudden storm gathers her being in a bolt of lightning and sends her careening far away to the world of Renjer, where Demons and Dragons dwell.
Suddenly surrounded by dozens of towering Devils, Ash has no choice but to fight, yet when the twisted creatures lay dead at her feet, she encounters the biggest shock of all... a Dragon. Facing off with a puny human is not Xilon's idea of a good day, but there is an aura about this girl that awakens something inside him, something he thought long since dead. When she falls to a ring of Demons, Xilon knows he will stop at nothing to find her... and keep her.
