After tricking Abigail into taking him to the Tower of Prakdon, Tyree has claimed the book of power. This was the missing piece that would help him retake control of Skylar Kingdom. Once in his possession, it was discovered he cannot read the demon rune within. Tyree seeks the last remaining magic demon rune reading scroll to allow him to interpret the book. Glaive is Tyree's muscle, right hand man, and Gullen mull is a hired assassin. They assemble an expert crew to aid Tyree in finding the scroll. During their journey, they come across bandits, monsters, and all the while, trying to avoid the authorities. Since Tyree offered Abigail to a demoness through a magic portal, Olivia and Klinksly the gnome do everything they can to find her. They learn about the scroll as well, hidden in Baladain, a place where evil first dwelled in Essalon. Abigail's friends strive to acquire it before Tyree. Olivia ends up in a battle to save a gnome village from Klatzz, the wererat king, who accuses her of killing the wererat prince Skeel. But who will save her?
