The Army of Darkness Draws Near

Five centuries ago, a catastrophic demon war left the world in ruins. Since then, the survivors—humans, elves, and other mutants—have found sanctuary in a mountain valley protected by magic. But now these protective wards have failed, and a ruthless troll army is on the brink of invasion.

In an attempt to stave off annihilation, Panterra Qu, a young Tracker, struggles to control the power of the black staff—a powerful talisman passed down through the centuries by the Knights of the Word. It is their only hope for salvation, for all will pay a price if the war between the Word and the Void tips towards darkness.

The Measure of the Magic unfolds a pivotal battle where the fate of all hangs in the balance.
