The wizard-priest Ingold Inglorion and his companions believed the Dark had been defeated, but the ancient evil continues to spread. As terrifying creatures emerge from the shadows and the barriers between worlds weaken, Gil Patterson and Rudy Solis must once again confront horrors beyond imagination. The battle becomes not only one for survival, but for the fate of two worlds threatened by the relentless power of the Dark.
