    About this ebook

    Some doors lead to places no man should go. Desperate to rescue Dek after abandoning him in the fifth circle of hell, Alloran's task is complicated when he is forced to go on the run again.

     

    Bereft of all resources, Alloran enters into the shady world of loose morals and stitchers—black wizards hiring out their services to the highest bidder. When a strange woman presents him with a lucrative but criminal opportunity, he must ask what Dek's life is worth to him—or is it the chance of a challenge he cannot defeat that tempts him into darkness?

     

    Gisayne is fixated on avenging her father's murder, but Alloran, consumed by his need to rescue Dek, will not help her. Alone, she hunts the deadly wizard Ladanyon, but when the trail leads her back to Alloran, she must fight to save him—but from the black wizard or himself?

     

    Blinded by his determination, Alloran risks crossing a line to become the very thing he fights against.
