A shadowed past. An ancient secret. And an unspeakable betrayal.

Having chosen to leave his life on Earth behind, possibly forever, Justin Holmes returns to the realm of the Oikoumene to take up his sword in the war against the demons — a war that is far more complex and far-reaching than he or his allies ever could have anticipated.

While his friends are pulled deeper into diverging conflicts by the enemy's increasingly elaborate attacks, Justin faces his greatest struggle yet: a battle against the darkness within himself. A dangerous quest leads him into a treacherous jungle for training as a spirit-warrior. But still unbeknownst to him is the terrible cost of traveling between worlds.

Can the allies of the Oikoumene band together against an onslaught of demonic forces? Can Justin defeat this ancient evil? Or has the enemy already won?

The odyssey continues in this second installment of the four-book epic fantasy series that readers call FUN, ENGROSSING, and JAW-DROPPING.
