Krasias kranietrone er tom.Det er en æresplads, bygget af kranierne fra faldne generaler og dæmonprinser, hvis oldgamle magi holder ånderne tilbage. Fra tronsædet skulle Ahmann Jardir erobre den kendte verden og forene dets spredte befolkning under én fane i det sidste og afgørende opgør mod dæmonerne. Den tatoverede mand, Arlen Bales, modsatte sig dog Jardir og udfordrede ham til en duel, som hans ære ikke lod ham afvise. Hellere end at risikere nederlag kastede Arlen dem begge i afgrunden, hvilket efterlod verden uden en frelser og gav plads til en strid om tronfølgen, der truer med at splitte Thesas Frie Byer ad.I syden kæmper Jardir og Ineveras sønner om at vinde retten til tronen. Hans førstehustru må nu finde en måde at forhindre dem i at slå hinanden ihjel og kaste folket ud i borgerkrig.I norden kæmper Leesha Paper og Rojer Inn for at skabe en alliance mellem hertugdømmerne Angiers og Miln mod krasianerne, inden det er for sent. Hertugdømmet Lakton er til gengæld fanget som en lus mellem to negle, rigt, ubeskyttet og plukkemodent.Alt imens er dæmonerne blevet mere magtfulde, og uden Arlen og Jardir er der muligvis ingen stærk nok til at stoppe dem. Kun Renna Bales kender måske mere til de to forsvundne mænds skæbne, men hun er også forsvundet … Kranietronen er fjerde bog i serien Dæmoncyklussen.

I umindelige tider blev menneskeheden jaget og dræbt af blodtørstige dæmoner.Deres eneste beskyttelse mod væsenerne, der luskede omkring i natten, var gamle, halvglemte magier. Men så stod to helte frem – mænd tætte som brødre, men splittet af bittert forræderi. Arlen Bales blev kendt som Den tatoverede mand, dækket fra top til tå med kraftfulde magiske symboler, der gør ham i stand til ikke bare at kæmpe mod dæmonerne, men besejre dem. Jardir, udrustet med magisk beskyttede våben, kaldte sig selv Forløseren, en person profeteret til at forene menneskeheden og lede dem til sejr i Sharak Ka – det endelige opgør mod dæmonerne.Men i deres forsøg på at udfordre dæmonerne har Arlen og Jardir sat noget i gang, der kan betyde enden på alt, de har kært – en sværm. Krigen venter forude, og menneskeheden har ikke en chance, medmindre Arlen og Jardir, med hjælp fra Arlens hustru Renna, kan knække en tilfangetagen dæmonprins og tvinge det luskede væsen til at lede dem til Kernen, hvor moderen til alle dæmoner avler sin uendelige hær.Arlen, Renna og Jardir sætter deres lid til, at deres nærmeste allierede, Leesha, Inevera, Ragen og Elissa, vil forene folkene i de Frie Byer og lede dem i kampen mod sværmen, imens de selv tager på en farefuld færd ned i ondskabens mørkeste dybder, som ingen af dem regner med at slippe levende fra.Kernen er femte og sidste bog i serien Dæmoncyklussen.
