AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'The town of Desperance is embroiled in battle. Ancient combats as deep as the land entwine with greed-fuelled battles over what lies beneath. Here lies the spirit nest of the ancient serpent, a creature larger than storm clouds, who came down from the stars. On top of the snake's spirit nest lies Angel's Palace, the home of Angel Day.'
