The arch-demon, Pride, leads demon-kind in an ancient plan to open a gate between worlds, so vast demon armies might march forth and conquer, but opening a portal requires both energy equivalent to a nuclear explosion and the cooperation of a half-demon, to stabilize it.

Climate change to identity: The vital lessons in Metamorphoses, Ovid's 2,000-year-old poem

Dus: lees ze.
Read banned books.
