Fire And Rayne
Saga of the Wolf Spirit
by Paul Johnston

---

After guarding the royal descendants of his beloved (and deposed) Queen Kinder Amaranthine for generations, the time has finally come for Con to vanquish the evil Queen Lilith—who has used her dark magics to remain in absolute power for two hundred years—and restore Amaranthine rule with the help of Rayne, the long-lost rightful heir. But first, he must get her to the Vanguard Tower, retake it from Lilith’s possessed forces, and relight the Amaranthine crystal at its peak as a signal to all that Lilith’s reign of terror is coming to an end at last. And in the process, hopefully, awakening the royal line’s greatest ally from its cursed slumber. But it won’t be easy. The possessed forces of the dark queen fight with no fear and even less mercy. And among their number are demons capable of draining the power of anyone they touch. If they are to have any hope of success, Con and Rayne must seek the help of the Paladins, sworn enemies of the dark queen and supporters of Amaranthine rule. But will they be able to see beyond Con’s infamous dark sword and sordid past? Beyond the terrifying beast that lies within him? Will they join them in their quest or cut them down before they can even ask for help? Only time will tell.
