Alex Rayne has no idea the importance of his family lineage. His teenage days are spent avoiding insults in a dreadful house with his hideous stepmother, her despicable children, and a father whose personality has deteriorated from fun and charismatic to dull and monotonous. Alex’s life quickly changes when Nort, a mysterious man with an array of quirky inventions, appears and tells him his grandfather—missing and originally presumed dead—needs his help. Alex soon discovers he comes from a long bloodline of warlocks who have ruled the pinnacle level of purgatory, known as Tristoria, for millennia. Under constant threat from demons and other evils meaning to destroy it, the Rayne family is entrusted to preserve and protect Tristoria and its variety of inhabitants and fantastical creatures. Not only must Alex embrace his warlock destiny and take his rightful place on the throne, he must protect his bloodline from the destructive powers of the demon witch Helenia. If the Raynes fall, Tristoria will crumble and the fate of Earth and the heavens will be left in the evil clutches of the underworld.
