"The PaSa sword was forged in darkness from the bones of demons. It has a life of its own and can bend the will of its user to aid it in its quest for blood. Fate has plced the cursed sword in the hands of Rey Yan, an orphaned warrior who wanders the land with his sister, Shyao. When the demon realm decides to meddle in the politics of man, corrupting the emperor and inciting war, Rey and Shyao fnd themselves escort to King Jaryoon, the emperor's brother. Now the three heroes are en route to the capital, but the path won't be easy. Their path takes them past a village haunted by a soul-eating demon tree. While safety would suggest that they take the long path around, Jaryoon's sense of justice and Rey's eagerness to fight leads them into the heart of darkness once more."--Page 4 of cover.
