Wismerhill is a young half-elf whose destiny changes when he becomes caught at the center of a war opposing the Empire to powerful occult forces. An ambitious and charismatic warrior, he gradually gathers an army around him and becomes a key figure in a conflict that goes far beyond simple rivalries between kingdoms. Amid enormous battles, dark magic, demons, fragile alliances, and divine manipulation, Wismerhill rises through the ranks of power while his fate appears increasingly tied to the ambitions of the mysterious Haazheel Thorn and to a prophecy capable of reshaping the balance of the world.

A long time ago, in the underworld, Lucifer and his prince-demon Pazuzu launched themselves into a game for them annoyed, but which would lead to the end of a world. Once upon a time, in an old castle in ruins, an old lord who lived in his bitter memories, and his young wife abandoned, an elf with enchanting beauty. And this is how it all began.

Again allied to this force of nature, Wismerhill will have to face a peril to his measure, for in the wild mountains of the Lhynn Empire rôd absolute evil, will he be able to resist the evil charm of the succubus who desires his loss?

Album 22
While his doppelganger prisoner of the Hells regains familiar knowledge, and Methraton unrelentingly hunts down the Demons Princes, Emperor Wismerhill reigns with an iron hand on Terra Secunda. No better than he knows how strong the flesh fortresses are than those of steel to secure his empire, and that it is important to surround himself with the best warriors to compose his close guard... Fabrice Angleraud serves with his wild virtuosity François Froideval's dantesque scenario.
Album 23
