Cédron, already isolated as the Regent's son, has a Shäeli demon for a mother. Approaching manhood, his demonic powers manifest. Blamed for the earth shakes ripping through the land, Cédron must flee, hunted by those who would kill him and others who will exploit his powers. He races against time to find the real cause of the destruction. Cédron has to become a hero or join the great demon and embrace his true heritage.
