The abyssal hells. Obsessive followers. And a plan to reopen the Twilight Gate . . .

Gray Lexly is trapped in the abyssal hells. His once enemy, Death Lord Deimos, is injured, and together with Ashlyn, Nini, and Knovak, Gray must find his way home before they all perish.

But even if they manage to escape, that won't stop the chaos raging out of control in the abyssal hells. Death Lord Naiad is out to kill the other Death Lords, Kallikore is creating monstrous elder creatures, and Umbriel seems intent on using the Oblivion Gate, the heinous counterpart to the Twilight Gate . . .

Unfortunately, everyone in the realm of the living is oblivious to their schemes. So Gray has to get back and warn everyone—or perhaps team up with Deimos and just fix it himself.
