Epic duels. Fighting revolutions. Usurping tyrants. This is not what Jason expected when, fleeing the law, he stows away on the first ship out. When the battleship is destroyed by demonic creatures, Jason and his ally, Alan, find themselves trapped on a hostile island where tyrants rule through might and magic. That is, until they meet the Usurpers. The only three known pure humans left alive, they want to slay the tyrant, Darkheart. The leader, Pherohex, uses magical powers and battle skills to defeat her enemies. Traehkrad defeats them through his strength and willpower, and Transmute has unique and powerful abilities all of his own. Will it be enough?
