To rise up, you must first fall. They've found her. They know where she is and they know the way. After all this time, the last dark god may finally be within their grasp. Together, Max and Trina will have to come up with a way to breach an impregnable fortress, extract Arinna, and make it out alive. Trina's pretty sure it's a suicide mission but if they have any chance at all, it's going to take a lot of work, preparation, and meticulous planning. Even then success is anything but assured. And if they do happen to find her... will Arinna be the same?

When might fails, dark magic calls. Airship stolen and twice betrayed, Max remains in a city filled with enemies. His countdown continues, recording every waning moment until his final doom. Victory over the paladin and his endlessly reviving soldiers isn't just fleeting, it's a liability, causing more problems than it's solved. A new item will provide access to a powerful new class if Max has the stomach for it, but he'd better figure out something, and quickly. As he's learned, in this world, there are many fates far worse than death. Perhaps it's time to try something different, something... arcane.

A prison of the mind is the trickiest to escape. Max finally found Arinna, daughter of the god of death and heir to the throne. He defeated a powerful enemy and dozens of griffin knights to do it, but finding a way to free her completely has proved more difficult than he imagined. Now he's tumbling through the void, doing everything he can to keep her within his grasp. The monster he'll face is the most terrifying yet. To have a chance Max will be forced to face his own demons and embrace the true power of the dark. It's been his path since the beginning, the only question now is: Does he have what takes?

A fallen realm must rise again. The dark is but a shadow of its former glory. Corruption, propaganda, and terror have flooded the underworld, poisoning morale and diluting the popular will. The once-powerful demon lords have fled and the former king's few remaining supporters are vilified and hunted by roving gangs. The demonic forces that now wield power in the black halls have grown fat on plunder, and they'll not give it up easily. In order to prevail, Max and Arinna must rally new and old allies into an army. They will wage war to restore the throne and reclaim the soul of the dark. Drastic measures will most definitely be necessary and they'd better accomplish them quickly before Max's final moments bleed away.

An outrageous race to doom and ruin. Max and Arinna are together at last but their troubles are far from over. Before Max can count his task fulfilled, his newly secured dark goddess must return home and claim her throne. Unfortunately, there's only one way to go. The light knows that all too well and they'll be waiting with everything they've got. To make the journey, Max will need to call in every favor from every living being he's met along the way. Given the enormity of the task, however, that alone is unlikely to be enough. It might be time to enlist the dead as well.

No risk no reward... but also no dismemberment. Max has made powerful enemies who will stop at nothing to hunt him down and stuff his skull into a trophy case. The smartest thing would be to get as far away as he can, fast. Yet there's a village of goblins asking for his help and they're offering something tantalizing in return: an airship. Should Max try to be a hero, even though he knows his win over the paladin was a fluke? Should he risk his bony neck on the off chance he can score a sweet low mileage propeller-driven dream? Will he find some half-decent gear that he can actually wear? Or will it all come crashing down?

The final battle has come. To be denied at the threshold of victory can be crushing. Max and his friends have sacrificed much to achieve their goal and restore the dark. They are battered and bruised, yet now they find another legion of powerful enemies barring the path ahead, occupying the very castle Arinna must reclaim. Any sane person would throw up his skeletal hands and be done with it all but not Max. He's more powerful than ever and there's no chance in hell he's going to give up without a fight, whatever the odds. It's time for the team to come together, bringing everything they have to expel the forces of light. The conflict will take them to places they've never been and ask more of them than ever before. With only hours of Max's time remaining, it will be far from easy, but nothing of value is.
