Welcome to Teargarden, a town bereft of law and order. It's controlled by two individuals–the devious innkeeper Therolim, and the mysterious yet beautiful Celina. Their rivalry was about to tear the town part, but all that would change with the arrival of the Archon. Archons were supposedly celestial saviors, sworn to protect the citizens of Agarath from demons, but Celina knew better. In order to protect herself and the rest of the town, she would need to devise a way to kill an angel.

Celina had never meant to fall in love–certainly with a Gaelorian. As soon as she had given her heart to Gorvan, he had shattered it upon the wall of her tavern for all to see. Love was for fools, she realized, and she had become the grand jester in a court of misery. Cynical and guarded, she held her secrets close. But when the crazed monk Rogart arrived–cursed with dreams of what was to come--she realized she had been discovered. The demons of Nolagarg were close, and once they found her, she would be a slave to them once more.

As soon as Gorvan became ruler of the desolate backwater town of Teargarden, a host of new refugees flooded in—every one of them desperate, hungry, and their own unique brand of trouble.

When the wild Sanjeror Rastag killed her family, Maldara swore revenge. She tracks him to the Xordom of Teargarden, a mysterious city where Murks and humans live together surrounded by untrustworthy merchants and evil Sanjerors.

Therolim despaired to see what Xorvan was becoming. For the past decade, the Xor's mood was turning dark, and now he was threatening to destroy the Empire. Xorvan was supposed to be the Zordaedre—the one foretold in prophecy who would one day change the world. But change it into what? Am I fighting for the wrong side? Therolim wondered, but in his heart he knew a terrible truth: There was only one way for Teargarden to survive. He must assassinate Xorvan....
