Not all enemies are Demons…

Jace Black is a wanted man; the Council and Elite Protectors are hunting him for a crime he didn't commit. While his best friend, Elarya Storm, works to clear their names, Jace prepares for his quest to defeat the next Greater Dungeon.

Dodging Protectors, Jace and his Party head to Rhoass where they meet new acquaintances who help them on their way. But deceit and intrigue stalk Jace, and the closer he gets to completing his quest, the more he realizes not everyone wants him to succeed.

Closing the first Greater Dungeon had unforeseen consequences that threaten the Protectors' way of life, and many blame Jace. As opposition mounts and the dungeon level-up program spreads across the globe, fear and mistrust make it increasingly difficult to tell friend from foe. The situation grows more dangerous than he could've imagined, and Jace must decide how far he'll go to save the lives of those around him.

What would you sacrifice to save the world?
