The Order has arrived in force, and the fate of Valeria, and perhaps all the world, is poised to come under their iron-fisted control. Azerick and Daebian are forced to flee Southport and make a contentious alliance when King Miles capitulates to the invaders. Reduced to insurgent warfare, Azerick and his allies attempt to battle The Order’s vastly superior forces in a series of hit and run strikes, but the enemy legions may not be his biggest threat.

Banished to the abyss after helping defeat the Scions and saving the world from eternal darkness, Azerick languishes in perpetual misery as Lord of the Fifth Circle. The denizens of his hellish realm view him as a usurper and outsider. The chaotic creatures form an alliance with one goal in mind: destroy Azerick Giles, but Sharrellan stands in their way. A powerful spell tears through the demonic planes, and when the dust settles, the dark goddess is nowhere to be found.

How do these animals recover?

I should have just pulled the sheets up and rolled over when I had the chance....

Aldo Hale will do anything to rescue his brother from the monster that’s taken him into the forest.

Luckily, Aldo won’t be alone. He has Ishi, the last known dog in existence, and perhaps the only creature strong enough to face the Deep Wood and come back alive. There’s just one problem: owning a dog is a death sentence, the Citadel has found him out, and that means war.

Since we last saw him, Ben has been pulling double duty–dog walker by day, demon slayer by night. Toby assists in the latter, growing more violent with each kill. Dogs can be domesticated, but an inugami's murderous instincts are not easily suppressed.

Dogs are the most social animals on the planet, second only to humans in their ability to read and understand emotion.

She is a pioneer in the emerging field of "bond-based" dog training.

The continuing crisis in Syria has raised a question mark over the common perception of Middle Eastern affairs as an offshoot of global power politics. To Western intellectuals, foreign-policy experts, and politicians, "empire" and "imperialism" are categories that apply exclusively to the European powers and more recently to the United States of America. Lacking an internal dynamic of its own, the view of such people is that Middle Eastern history is the product of its unhappy interaction with the West.
