An outcast magician need to risk his mind and body to save the world from horrifying demons, in the heart-pounding epic illusion sequel to The Traitor God.

Tyrant magus Edrin Walker destroyed the monster sent from the Skallgrim, however, not before it laid waste to Setharis, and infested their magical top notch with mind-controlling parasites. Edrin’s personal Gift to seize the minds of others was cracked by any risk of strain of fight, and he barely survives the interrogation of a captured magus. There is no period for recovery though: a Skallgrim military is marching for the hill passes of the Clanhold. Edrin and a coterie of villains competition to stop them, but the mountains are filled up with gods, daemons, magic, and his hideous previous. Walker must visit nothing to win, even if which means losing his brain. Or worse .
