A review by Gil T. Wilson
Here we find Pony and Elbryan separated for the first time since their youth. Elbryan is in the north helping to
rebuild the country while Pony has moved south to Palmaris, trying to find the whereabouts of Roger Lockless. She's
also spying out the latest movements of the Abellican Church, while being careful to ensure the safety of her unborn child.
It seems as though Roger Lockless has found his way back to Elbryan. He has been given the task of leading five
monks who are dissatisfied with the way the church is headed to find the friends of Avelyn Desbris, the monk labeled
as a heretic who is actually a hero of the demon wars.
The newly appointed Bishop of Palmaris, Bishop De'Unnero, is quickly becoming unpopular with the common folks and
merchants. He repossesses all of the magic gemstones, even the ones purchased directly from the church, and creates
a police state. Those unwilling to give up the stones are tortured and one is even executed in public. Markwart sees
this as a possible bad image for the new direction for the church and sends De'Unnero to hunt down Elbryan. De'Unnero
is a trained assassin and proficient with the tiger's paw gemstone, a gemstone that gives the user the power of a
tiger and even transforms the arm of the user into that of the big cat. De'Unnero becomes so proficient that he
can turn his entire body into a tiger.
Elbryan, Roger Lockless, Bradwarden the centaur, and two elves set out to escort the five monks on a pilgrimage to
the grave of Avelyn. It is here that they seek to find hope for the future of the world of Corona. The rest of
the elves are dispatched to Palmaris for a possible meeting with the king, but more importantly, to watch out for
Pony and the unborn son of the ranger, Elbryan. There's plenty of excitement and intrigue, and GraphicAudio
creates the perfect production to help you get lost in the world of the Demon Wars Saga.
