Shadow of the Exile

Outcast and exiled, the demon Tarrik Nal-Valim has long been forgotten by the world of humans. At least, so he thinks.

But
when he is summoned as a last resort by a desperate sorcerer, it seems
as though his past has caught up with him. The sorcerer is Serenity
“Ren” Branwen, the daughter of Tarrik’s former master—and friend. Though
she seems cold, driven, and ruthless, Tarrik can tell that Ren has her
back against a wall, and he is compelled by ferocious powers to obey
her.

As their world sinks into a terrifying maelstrom of murder,
intrigue, and insurrection, Tarrik is forced to serve Ren’s arcane
designs—plans that, if they were to succeed, would resurrect
unimaginable power and could destroy Tarrik’s entire race.

But as
events unfurl, the lines between demon and master become blurred, and
Tarrik realizes that Ren is not what she seems. To prevent utter
devastation, Tarrik may have to surrender what he values most: a chance
at redemption and an end to his exile.
