When the gods of chaos returned to reclaim their world, church paladin Chahl Mordon failed to save the one true goddess of peace and order, Ellinides. Now, in a world gone mad, the penitent seeks atonement for his mistake. Drusilla Klarren has been cursed by demons, and her husband has absconded with their only son, Dewner. In the volcanic belly of Mount Tona, the father battles for dominance in the cruel god Moslaff's bloodthirsty wolf cult. His final sacrificial offering of faith to his new god? Dewner. Mordon journeys to Mount Tona to save the boy from the slavering fangs of the wolf pit. There he contends with psychic wolves, insectoid demons, vampiric attacks, and brutal hand-to-hand combat. But maybe Dewner doesn't want saving from his fate. And maybe the cursed Drusilla poses the greatest danger of all.
