In the remote land of Grunland, an ancient race has imprisoned an evil demonic force for centuries. This evil is so corruptive written records are strictly forbidden, lest it is inadvertently released. Instead, the Ar Ze’s knowledge has been preserved through spoken word and secret rituals. Unfortunately, memory is fragile, and the Ar Ze’s powers have greatly diminished. Magic once shared by all now rests with only a few. But even some of these have lost true belief, and protective barriers now crumble, releasing demons so powerful their victims become their undead slaves!

To make matters worse, Rome and Japan have learned of Grunland’s hidden power, and each nation is determined to claim that power themselves. Caught between their ancient adversaries and two invading armies, the Ar Ze may well be destroyed completely. And if the last of their magic fails, what hope is there to ever contain the demons again?
