(Echte Helden wider Willen Lenk und seine Gefährten haben...)
Echte Helden wider Willen Lenk und seine Gefährten haben auf ganzer Linie versagt. Es ist ihnen nicht gelungen, die krakenarmige Dämonenkönigin Ulbecetonth daran zu hindern, die Welt der Menschen zu betreten. Doch zunächst ist es Lenks Aufgabe, seine Gefährten zur Zusammenarbeit zu bewegen. Denn trotz ihrer gemeinsam erlebten Abenteuer – oder gerade deswegen –, können sie einander nicht ausstehen. Dabei gehen Lenk die Argumente aus. Diesmal ist es nämlich sehr wahrscheinlich, dass sie alle bei dem Versuch, die Welt zu retten, sterben werden – und dabei werden sie nicht einmal dafür bezahlt!

(The Aeon's Gate comes to an epic conclusion. She comes....)
The Aeon's Gate comes to an epic conclusion. She comes. The skies bleed. The earth groans. The sea howls. The world is rent asunder as the Kraken Queen claws her way from hell. And the only ones standing in her way are a young man with a piece of steel and a voice in his head, his many companions, and their many, many problems. As Lenk journeys to the Island of Jaga, the tomb of Ulbecetonth, he is hunted. By enemies, by the woman he loves, by the demon he has to kill, by an army of any number of bloodthirsty purple berserkers, savage lizardmen, vicious monsters, and colossal demons. In the lands where sky and sea have forgotten they were ever separate, Lenk and the companions' destinies await at the tip of a sword and the mouth of hell.

(Long before he was sent to hell, the Aeon known as Khoth-...)
Long before he was sent to hell, the Aeon known as Khoth-Kapira was the closest thing to a living god the world had ever known. Possessed of a vast intellect, he pioneered many of the wonders that persist in the world long after he was banished. Nearly every fragment of medical, economic and technological progress that the mortal races enjoyed could be traced back to him. But with his wonders came cruelty beyond measure: industrialised slavery, horrifying experimentations and a rage that would eventually force the world to bow to him. Now, as Khoth-Kapira stirs, the world begins to shudder with disasters yet to come.The epicenter is the city of Cier'Djaal. A religious war between two unstoppable military juggernauts begins to brew. The racial fury among many peoples of the world is about to explode. Demons begin to pour from the shadows at the head of a vicious cult worshipping dark powers. And Lenk finds himself in the middle once more, his fate and the fate of Khoth-Kapira interlinked as the demon attempts to convince him of his earnestness. 'Your world is breaking around you,' He Who Makes says, 'let me fix it. Let me help you. Let me out.'

(The Tome of the Undergates has been recovered, and the ga...)
The Tome of the Undergates has been recovered, and the gates of hell remain closed. Lenk and his five companions set sail to bring the accursed relic away from the demonic reach of Ulbecetonth, the Kraken Queen, but their ship crashes upon an island made of the bones left behind from a war long dead. And it appears that bloodthirsty alien warrior women, fanatical beasts from the deep and heretic-hunting wizards are the least of their concerns. Haunted by their pasts, plagued by their gods, tormented by their own people, their greatest foes may yet be themselves. The reach of Ulbecetonth is longer than hell can hold.

Read by David DeSantos In the first book in a new trilogy from the acclaimed author of the Aeon's Gate series, a long-exiled living god arises and a city begins to break apart at the seams. Lenk and his battle-scarred companions have come to Cier'Djaal in search of Miron Evanhands, a wealthy priest who contracted them to eradicate demons - and then vanished before paying for the job. But hunting Miron down might be tougher than even these weary adventurers can handle as two unstoppable religious armies move towards all-out war, tensions rise within the capital's cultural melting pot, and demons begin to pour from the shadows. And Khoth Kapira, the long-banished living god, has seen his chance to return and regain dominion over the world. Now all that prevents the city from tearing itself apart in carnage are Lenk, Kataria, a savage human-hating warrior, Denaos, a dangerous rogue, Asper, a healer priestess, Dreadaeleon, a young wizard, and Gariath, one of the last of the dragonmen.

(Das größte aller Abenteuer beginnt Vor Jahrhunderten gel...)
Das größte aller Abenteuer beginnt Vor Jahrhunderten gelang es den Menschen nach langen Kämpfen, die Dämonen zu vertreiben und in die Unterwelt zu verbannen. Seitdem sucht das Böse nach einer Möglichkeit, zurückzukehren und die Sterblichen für ihren Widerstand zu bestrafen. Doch das Aeonstor, der einzige Zugang zur Unterwelt, war vor den Augen der Dämonen verborgen – bis heute! Denn im Buch der Niederpforten ist der Weg zum Aeonstor beschrieben, und weil der Söldner Lenk und seine Gefährten bei seiner Verteidigung versagt haben, befindet sich dieses uralte Artefakt nun in den Klauen der dämonischen Schergen. Lenk und seine Truppe haben kaum eine Wahl – die Bezahlung ist einfach zu gut –, sie müssen das Buch der Niederpforten zurückerlangen. Aber bald steht Lenk vor der schwierigsten Entscheidung seines Lebens – von der nicht nur das Schicksal der Gefährten abhängt, sondern das der ganzen Welt!
