A dying king, a guardian lion, and a shadowy demon spell disaster for Portents. The skandola-an ancient talisman with the power to ward off evil-is in danger. When its protection fails, one of the great demons from the underworld escapes to walk the Earth once more. Ur has returned and with him comes eternal darkness. Greg Loren, reassigned from the Central Precinct to a cold case warehouse, finds himself pulled into the conflict when a Shishi lion-a guardian to the last king of men-dies in front of him. Unsure how to proceed, Loren turns to the only person he trusts when the city turns bizarre: Soriya Greystone. Together, with the help of the king's final guardian, Idris, Loren and Soriya must keep the king safe long enough to banish Ur's evil from the city of Portents forever. Brace yourself for an epic clash between light and dark in this heart-racing Greystone Saga adventure.
