The Chaos Gate - The Ever Hero Saga, #1

Human lives are useful currency to the gods of Law and Chaos, each deity imposing their own brand of tyranny-be it through unyielding order or chaotic upheaval-leaving mortals to bear the brunt of their divine indifference...until now.  Evil forces seek to steal the souls of the world. They didn't bargain on a mystic monk and a feisty witch to get in their way. This is their story. When the demons came, ransacking his monastery, killing his friends and mentors, Kasai's mind screamed, "Flee! Run while you can!" But he didn't.
Honor demanded he fight back, no matter the cost or how much he wanted it to be someone else's problem. Escaping her doomed village, orphaned and alone, Desdemonia begins a new life in the deep forest. A chance encounter with a young monk sets events in motion which will force her to choose sides; fight for what is right and just or unleash the chaos magic burning in her veins against a world who has turned its back on her. Enter the archdevil, Sekka of Gathos, hellbent on conquest and lacking but one final piece to guarantee her victory; the soul of the next Ever Hero.
Hope will not be enough to stop her or the hordes of demons at her command. Follow in the footsteps of two unlikely companions, fighting against overwhelming odds in a last-ditch effort to stop Sekka from opening a dreaded Chaos Gate, and with it the doom of the Three Kingdoms.
