The Afflicted Saga: Tale of the Fallen Series

Demons were nothing but legends... Or so the young General Nessix Teradhel had always believed. Abandoned by her god and caught in a political trap with her late father's old comrade, Nessix had barely kept herself together even before these startling reports appeared. But now Mathias Sagewind, the fabled White Paladin, has arrived on her quiet island nation of Elidae with confirmation of such terrors. Wielding the name of the Mother Goddess and divine strength not seen in years, he is Elidae's best chance at victory. In the wake of a holy war, Nessix must learn to trust Mathias as he attempts to guide her from a troubled past and protect her from a tragic future.

Demons are no longer legends... And with Nessix's soul in their clutches, they've grown bolder in their conquest of the island nation of Elidae. The fleman armies, devastated by the loss of their general and with only Mathias to blame for her fate, are challenged with a more ominous battlefield than ever before. But even with the assistance of their vile goddess, the demons still have a trying war ahead of them. Divine forces rise in a manner Abaeloth had long ago hoped to forget, driving rivals from across the realms to face one another at last. Haunted by memories of the past, lies of the present, and dreams of a future that would never be, the fleman armies and the men who lead them must rally together behind their love of Nessix to save her and Elidae both.

Demons must hunt their legend… And the stakes have never been higher for Nessix. Having slipped free from her demon captors, she must make all haste to reach Zeal and secure the help she needs to save those she'd left behind and vowed to protect. But time is in short supply and even with salvation nearly in her grasp, safety eludes her yet. Driven by ruthless assassins, a brutal pack of inoga, and the promises of the demon she fears she will never escape, Nessix leaves a trail of devastation in her wake. With towns falling and innocents dying as Nessix races for Zeal, the Order of the White Circle casts its wary eyes and blunt suspicions toward the fallen general, leaving Mathias with one option: reach Nessix before her flight levels the country.

Demons have created a legend… And they've resurrected Nessix to lead this undying force against the world she had died to protect. Overpowered and imprisoned by loathsome foes, the headstrong general is tasked with raising an army of fractured souls to carry out the demons' vile whims. Though Mathias has embarked on a worldwide quest to find her before the demons succeed in unleashing this army, Nessix isn't content to wait for a savior. The demons have greater plans for Abaeloth than simply disrupting the passage of souls, and she is determined to stop them. Bound to her demon master and burdened by cataclysmic memories that aren't her own, Nessix must align herself with the demon she hates most to ensure the safety of her new people and find an opportunity to save them all.

Demons had buried a legend... And now that Nessix has reached Zeal, she is free to pursue the answers she needs to rescue the army she left trapped in the hells. Or so she thought. Even with Mathias's backing, the holy city is reluctant to act on the word of the creature she has become. As the Council engages in debate over what to make of Nessix's startling reports--and the peril she inadvertently brought to the surface--she and Mathias are left to piece together what they can from just one clue: the mystery of a long-dead demon named Berann. Meanwhile, the dark forces of Abaeloth have already begun to make their moves to take control of the situation. Zeal wants Nessix silenced, the god of the undead wants her speaking, and the demons want her back before she can bring about their doom.

Demons will once again become legends... At least if Nessix has anything to say about it. Taken from Zeal and dragged back into the hells before the last pieces of the puzzle had fallen into place, her faith and vows of loyalty are put to the ultimate test. While Nessix is pulled into the savage political scene governing the hells, the troublesome pacts Mathias is forced to make on the surface reveal the secret Berann had died trying to make known: there is a way to cleanse demons of their curse. With their vile foes growing increasingly suspicious of the forces plotting against them, the unlikely partnership of paladin and undead is running out of time to hunt the artifacts which could save Abaeloth from the blight which has tormented her for so long. Don your armor once again and join Nessix and Mathias for the final installment of Tale of the Fallen!
