Only a handful of people in the world know that mankind's magic comes from a living creature, and it is a refugee from another universe.

It is a predator that eats magic and leaves destroyed worlds in its wake. Earth is next. Former private eye Jake Sullivan knows the score. The problem is, hardly anyone believes him.

Now under the leadership of the reluctant Lieutenant Kelvan Cleasby, the Sixth Platoon of Storm Knights has been ordered to accompany an archeological expedition from the Royal Cygnaran University deep into the Wyrmwall Mountains to investigate an ancient site of potentially great historical value.

Hold their beer, Romero and Hitchcock. You ain’t seen nothin’ yet!
