Ghirahim is a lord of demons. He fears nothing. He loves nothing. He needs no one. He was made only to conquer, to destroy, to make ready the way for the return of his master, Demise. But when he is sent to the Above to do just that, he decides that he was made also for another purpose: to rule.

Joining forces with two Gerudo sorceresses, Ghirahim takes matters into his own hands, while plotting to take the Hylian throne. The arrogant demon soon discovers that he's taken on more than he bargained for; the sorceresses have their own agenda, and the armies he needs are sealed by an ancient magic no one can unlock.

The greatest mystery of all lies within a Hylian girl who can read the language of the gods and hold Ghirahim spellbound in a way no mortal should be able to. Who is this girl who harnesses powers so unusual to her kind, who does not fear him in the least? Only once before has he ever encountered a mortal with such a strong and unbreakable spirit.

Ghirahim can't guess who she might be. All he knows is that he will stop at nothing to make himself king of Hyrule, and her his demon queen.
