Short-Lived Victories

The final showdown is at hand as the Storm Shields face off against the Quinta and her demonic army .

With the Quinta and her army on the horizon, the Storm Shields  ready themselves for a battle that they may not all survive. If they do not defeat the Quinta here and now her army will take over the entire valley below. If that happens she will become unstoppable. 

While preparing for battle the Storm Shields receive a visit from an old friend. And with one more night before the Quinta's army descends on the city, they soon realize they'll only get one chance to save the world. 

The Storm Shields regain control of the rear gate after defeating a group of demonic adventures. A search of their ship reveals a plot that goes deeper than first thought, and it's soon made clear that the Quinta and her flotilla of creatures are a lot closer than originally thought.

Tik and Rael take flight to discuss their feelings for each other. Meanwhile, a hundred feet below, McQuade, Nightshade, Lydia, and Gwen face certain death.

Important items have gone missing and true feelings are revealed, as the Storm Shields move one step closer to defeating the Quinta's army... but love might just tear them apart.

After uncovering a plot to murder them, the Storm Shields device a plan to take care of the man behind this deadly conspiracy.

Although tricked into an ambush, the Storm Shields soon discover the Iron Master has a tenuous grip on his authority as they receive aid from a far more powerful friend.

Leaving the still burning town of Zvanomir, the Storm Shields continue downriver to Beetle with the Quinta's ships still on their heels. 

The Storm Shields reach and attempt to warn the people of Zvanomir, a small fishing village at the edge of a swamp. Not far behind them is the Quinta's flotilla of monsters reading to decimate another town and add more soldiers to their army. Meanwhile, Tik seizes an opportunity to end things once and for all.
