Having survived the best efforts of the Dark Angels to kill him, Marley Fox is conscripted into the British army along with his companion, James Finnegan. The two are sent to South Africa to fight in the war against the Boers, the brutality of which swallows them up as they are thrown into battle after battle. In the midst of the war, the Dark Angels send supernatural forces against them, and old enemies from England suddenly appear and do their best to finish off the pair.

And so begins the warleader's descent into darkness... Cenoc, the self-styled Lord of Latimus, learns of hidden treasures that can make him even more powerful.

However, a remnant stands in his way: a newly knighted young man who is torn between his mission and an overwhelming desire for revenge; an enchanter-initiate who finds himself facing terrors even greater than the danger of opposing Cenoc.
