The attack on the Nagoya Academy of Magic should have been so simple, yet Captain Malthus couldn't pull it off. The plan fell to shambles as he switched sides to save his fellow students. Worse, he has fallen to his human half and betrayed us, and all because he couldn't stand to kill a few human trollops! He couldn't even save them all, which serves him right. On top of that, his human girlfriend Kiyo dumped him over his constant lies. Human ladies are so picky! Now he has to deal with his failure and a sense of guilt for his actions. He is fortunate that the Wizard Corps decided to shuttle him off to Iceland to continue his magical training. It will give him some distance, some time to think, and, Dark Lord willing, to let that guilt stew and fester into resentment. After all, he's had his taste of human romance and the pain that its loss brings. That might just connect him with his true self and bring him back to Our Father's dark embrace. There are two obstacles to that plan, though. A familiar face has the same posting to Iceland, one who has the power to bring out the better angels of his nature. If she has her way, Malthus will be on the straight and narrow. More promisingly, another face, no longer so familiar, is also lurking around in the background, ready to bring the weight of his past sins down upon him. Can Malthus keep his head and neck attached and stop the rot in his heart? Either way, it will be delightful to watch him squirm.

It's so sad to see a once-stalwart devil go right. Friendship. Love. Empathy. The vices of our Enemy, the hated Creator, have taken root in the heart of the former Captain Malthus as he's settled into the role of wizard cadet Soren Marlowe. For the Dark Lord's sake, he joined a damn sewing club! Not all is bleak, though. He still has a devil's penchant for self-preservation, and the drive to do whatever it takes to return to us, including joining the Holy Brotherhood of Mankind. We do love the moxie of an undercover devil joining the most virulent demon-haters in all the human realms. However, there is always a price. A captured enemy knows about Malthus' demonic nature. His only hope is to assassinate him before the Wizard Corps can extract the truth from him. We know Captain Malthus well. He wouldn't hesitate to snuff out anybody to save himself. The question is, will Soren Marlowe?

How does such a fine, upstanding devil become one of humanity's greatest heroes? Captain Malthus of the Grim Horde had everything going for him. A well-connected father. Top tier magical talent. Military glory. He should have coasted to a life of luxury among the cream of devil society. And then he threw it all away by romancing the wrong devil's daughter. With his literal neck on the line, he was exiled on a spy mission deep in the heart of human territory. They meant it to be a death sentence, but it didn't need to be. All the half-human had to do was keep his head down and not draw attention to himself until things blew over. Shame he wasn't the type of devil to learn from his mistakes. This time, it wasn't a woman who was his downfall. It was several. Such a shame, indeed. He was such a promising young devil.

Captain Malthus has teamed up with the Holy Brotherhood, a group of anti-demon reactionaries. It's a dangerous game, though. If they knew they had an exiled devil in their midst, they'd kill him in an instant. However, war makes strange bedfellows, and we have been quite clear: if he wants to come home to his fellow devils, he needs to destroy something big. They don't come much bigger than the Nagoya Academy of Magic, housed in a tower at the center of an enormous forest. If he knocks it down, he'll cripple the Wizard Corps for a generation. It's a pity that he's still attached to his new girlfriend, Kiyo. It makes him hesitant and soft, hardly the traits you want in a saboteur! Will he avoid being discovered? Will he be able to keep her and his other friends out of the crossfire? Doubtful. Hell, when the spells start flying, our undercover devil will have a hard enough time saving his own skin. It will be fun to watch him try, though!
