Errol is the town drunk — at 18 years old. But one day he is recruited to carry a message to a hermit. On the way, he is almost murdered. He and the hermit and the hermit’s companion escape, heading toward the capitol. However, they are attacked several times on the way, and Errol finds himself separated and in danger, but he pushes on to reach the capitol without being killed. There he finds out that the enemy is stronger and more dangerous than he had ever imagined, but he doesn’t give up. In the second story, Errol is still being attacked, and is forced to go on a suicide mission into enemy territory, seeking to kill the most dangerous man in his country. In the third book, Errol and Liam spearhead the battle to save the country from an overwhelming attack inspired by demons.
