Jaenelle vládne jako královna na dvoře Ebon Askavi, a proto zkorumpovaná čistá krev už nemůže masakrovat její lid a zneuctívat její zemi. Ale kde se uzavřou dveře, může být prolomeno okno, proto musí být nepřátelé zničeni jednou provždy.Ani Čarodějka sama však nemá dostatek sil k tomu, aby ochránila Říši Stínů. Někde, dlouho ztracen v Šíleném království, se nachází Daemon, její předurčený společník. Neoblomná láska, kterou k Jaenelle chová, sjednotí dvůr a zajistí moc. Ukazuje se ale, že spojené síly nebudou stačit k odražení útoků nepřátel – pouze strašlivá oběť může zachránit ty, které Jaenelle miluje… Krátká ukázka z knihy: Navzdory všemu rozumu, navzdory vší touze, dokonce i když si myslel, že se s ní oženil Lucivar, stále ještě nedokázal vstřebat fakt, že Jaenelle už dávno není tou dívenkou, jakou znal. Už vyrostla a dospěla. Stěny v pokoji najednou zešedly, ještě více potemněly a začaly se uzavírat, přičemž kolem něj vytvořily tunel. „Daemone.“ Tenhle hluboký hlas si také pamatoval. Slyšel ho a připadalo mu, že zní pobaveně. Dříve ho slýchával plný zuřivosti a zběsilé síly. Slýchával ho zastřený a vyčerpaný. Slýchával ho, jak ho prosí, aby se na něj napojil, aby přijal pomoc a sílu, kterou mu nabízel. Pomalu se otočil a zíral na Saetana. Prince Temnoty. Nejvyššího pána Pekla. Svého otce.
