DEFEND THE LIGHT
At the battle of Starstone Lake, Drem and his friends witnessed horrors they'll never forget. They saw magic warping men into beasts and a demon rise from the dead. So they flee to warn the Order of the Bright Star. But the demons' high priestess, Fritha, is determined to hunt them down.
Concealed in Forn Forest, Riv struggles to understand her half-breed heritage. She represents the warrior angels' biggest secret, which could break their society. So when she's found by the Ben-Elim's high captain, he goes in for the kill. Meanwhile, demonic forces gather a mighty war-host to target the angels' stronghold.
Like heroes of old, Riv, Drem and the Bright Star's warriors must battle to save their land. But can the light triumph when the dark is rising?
