Blood and Masks

Calidus Varin, a member of an ancient order of elven demon hunters, has lived in the shadow of his master, Tullius the Black, for the better part of a century. Varin coasts on their combined fame, earning a reputation for recklessness, a taste for wine and women, and a irresistible inclination for boasting about his precious few exploits.

When a routine hunt on the city's outskirts demands the execution of an innocent child, Varin is forced to reconsider his master's teachings (and sanity). By delaying the execution and investigating a subsequent rash of inexplicable demon infestations, Varin stumbles upon an apocalyptic conspiracy that leads straight to his temple's doorstep. Everyone he knows becomes suspect. His lifeand the lives of his friendsare thrust into mortal peril.

Faced with the sudden arrival of a cunning Imperial magus, Varin enlists the aid of his closest friends: a wizard, a forest spirit, a skilled huntress, and a goddess. He also might have made an alliance with the creatures he's sworn to dispatch. As the city threatens to sink into the abyss, Varin must fight to protect the city he lovesor die trying.
