Pockets of society still exist in fortified strongholds, while those outside the walls roam the landscape - either prey or predator. But even these compounds are not safe; armies of demons and once-men assault the defences and inevitably, one by one, they fall - anarchy is the only law. Logan Tom and Angel Perez are the last two Knights to stand against the forces of chaos; they have the ability to resist the dark tide and to them will fall twin tasks: to find and protect and very old and a very new magic. They are humanity's last hope. They have the power to halt the destruction of the old world...Cover art by Steve Stone.
