The Dark Paladin

Read The Dark Paladin Storyline:

Sometimes, you have to fight fire with fire. Or demons with demons. The
paladins have a storied history, one tainted by a twisted sacrifice. To
fight the demon lords intent on taking over their world, they had to
make a deal with one. Under this pact, paladin Cedric Arrington
is forged into a weapon. Wearing his black armor to signal to all of
Nirendia his dark allegiance, he is a man beset by shadow on a quest to
send all demons back to the Abyss. A demon lord named Orcus
emerges from the underworld, and the foundations of the human kingdom of
Surdel begin to fracture and weaken. Undead rise without the
Necromancer. Demons pour out of Mount Godun at the heart of the tranquil
realm, and no one but the paladins can smite the fiery creatures back
to where they came from. Cedric is joined by Prince Jayden of
the dark elven Etyria Empire, who have fought their share of undead and
evil creatures under their ancient, fallen cities for thousands of
years. They search for hope. They search for a weapon capable of
defeating a demon lord. As King Aethis Eldenwald looks for
answers to his demon and undead problem, old enemies from the south seek
vengeance for recent wrongs. Meanwhile, in the capital Kingarth, the
Necromancer Ashton Jeraldson is held hostage by a father grieving the
loss of his famous son. When Ashton’s pleas for release fall on deaf
ears, he is given a tantalizing choice: stay prisoner while the world
burns or make his own deal with the darkness.
