Story

Griffin Eternal's king, Nicolai, is about to marry Greywolf's princess Isabel when demon forces interrupt the ceremony and separate the two lovers. Isabel is taken away from danger, where she makes the choice to help in the fight against the demon scourge. Starting with just a few forces, Isabel begins on a journey that will lead her through peril and into tragedy.
