The Skull throne

The saga of humans winnowed to the brink of extinction by night-stalking demons, and the survivors who fight back, continues. Ahmann Jardir, who sat atop the throne, meant to conquer the known world and forge an army to end the demons and their war. But Arlen Bales did not agree and challenged Ahmann to a duel he could not refuse. And then, because Arlen was afraid he'd loose, he cast them both from a precipice. Now their world is without a savior and the struggle for succession threatens to tear the Free Cities of Thesa apart.
