Nearly a thousand years after the legendary wizard Aldulan’s death, his greatest mistakes have come back to haunt the world of Arioc. From the lightless depths, demons claw their way to the surface—led by Suggradath, King of Demons, who hungers for nothing less than the annihilation of humankind.

A thousand years after Aldulan's mistake, the dead are marching and the world has run out of time. In Arioc, the great wizard Aldulan is remembered as legend. But the catastrophe he left behind is waking in the dark.

In Hell's Crown, legendary demon hunter Cain Stoddard was touched by something ancient—and it did not let go. Then he vanished. The Empire believes Cain is dead. His apprentice knows better.

Gadras Woundwing, Ang Saroth, Wrait Setis, and the battered company of Holders sail for the Isle of Dusk in search of the pieces needed to rebuild the Clock of Aldulan. Without it, the coming war may swallow kingdoms, cities, and every fragile hope they carried out of the capital.

The war for Arioc ends in Malifess. Suggradath, King of Demons, has survived the impossible. Broken, wounded, and trapped in mortal flesh, he gathers the armies of Malifess for one final invasion of Termeydiun. The Holders have paid for every step of their quest in blood.
