The Isle of the Demons Steve Douglas

The Demon Princes' challenge to Alantéa has been momentarily turned aside by the Wizards in The Sorcerers and the Marids when they drew the Isle of the Demons from the ocean depths. Yet the Wizards alone seem to understand that should the Demon Princes be allowed to create another race of beings, even more powerful than the Marids, they would overcome the Mid-World of the Truce and destroy its many Gods.




It is left to the Wizards to assault the Isle of the Demons, hoping that the Gods of Alantéa will be forced to support them in the name of their fragile Truce. Instead, the Greater Gods create three powerful Godlings to assist the Wizards. But these Powers seem challenged by the conflict between good and evil. Are they a blessing or an unknown curse for the expedition to the Isle?




Journeying with the Wizards are their trusted servants: Kalanin, Galad, Julian, and his two Familiars. Their plans may save Alantéa the Forerunner, ancient home of earth's magic and its Gods, and the Mid-World of the Truce itself.




But the Demon Princes have a far different design - as does, strangely, the Isle itself.
