Guided by rumor, curiosity, and duty, they expect little more than unusual stones or harmless creatures. Instead, they uncover a nightmare. When a stampede of fire-maned Amber Lions bursts past them in terror, Martin and Grinzer are forced to push deeper into the cave to discover what could frighten such powerful beasts. What they find is slaughter: corpses torn apart, bones scattered, and the unmistakable presence of something far worse than the creatures they came to study. In the depths of the cavern, they encounter Radions—demons—feeding on the remains.

Their only hope is the message Grinzer tried to send before falling: Someone must warn Aeren.
