In a world ravaged by forces that modern technology has failed to subdue, only the forgotten magic of an ancient civilisation offers hope.  Finlay knows the cost of being powerless. After tragedy shattered his world, he swore to never be weak again. To gain power, he must first join the guild that controls the mysteries of the Ancients and brave the realm of demons. As he and his friends explore a world of unlimited potential, it is not just the secrets of the ancients, but the truth of Finlay’s past that will shape their future.  Yet power comes at a cost and as their abilities grow, so does the threat to their minds and souls. Faced with an agonising question: will their bonds survive, or will the temptation of power destroy them?
