An alternative cover edition for this ASIN can be found here. College student Claire Jones does not normally jump to wild conclusions about the supernatural. Bigfoot, vampires, and the Loch Ness Monster all seemed to have rational reasons… before it happened. Everything in Claire's life seemed perfectly normal, albeit charmed: an engagement to her high-school sweetheart, friends visiting from college, and an idyllic life in the sleepy northland. All of that changes when she is abducted by a shapeshifting hobo and whisked through a dimensional gate. The stranger claims that nothing is what it seems, and a powerful sorcerer believes she is the key to summoning his dark god. Fleeing the enemy's forces, Claire must choose her path. Will she run from her destiny forever, or can she truly claim the awesome weapons of the mythic Architect King, and end the sorcerer's reign of terror? Failure means he will unleash Sh’logath’s cataclysmic power upon the universe, shattering dimensional barriers, and devouring all reality. It's a good thing she's made a werewolf friend who carries a really big sword.

Three years after a sorcerer’s failed attempt to awaken an ancient evil, Claire Jones channels the Prime spirit and has become the rightful heir to the throne of the Architect King. Peace seems to have returned to the multiverse, but when a traitor forms a dark pact with the trickster demigod Akko Soggathoth, malevolent forces again destabilize reality. If Claire and her friends cannot stop a new cult’s foul rituals, the ravenous nega-god may yet find entry into our world—but journeying through the Darque dimension to stop it might cost Claire her very mind.

The Shades have risen. Stone turns to flesh and the Veritas have fallen. Some new, dark force has taken hold of the Prime and a traitor is revealed. With the royal family’s enemies behind them, Zabe and the Princess finally dare to hope and look ahead to a strong new future for the Prime… but a pall hangs over the castle. The traitor in their midst was never found. Jenner may have murdered Zabe’s father, but he couldn’t have been the mole; too many unknowns cast a long shadow. Diplomatic relations with the Vyrm seem largely positive but negotiations break down when the unspeakable monstrosity that mars the sky of the Desolation realm suddenly disappears. Is it a hopeful sign or a grim portent? And what of the Followers of Maetha? Despite their slaughter at the hands of the Tarkhun, the fringe Rovers have begun a pilgrimage to Limbus. A creeping dark unlike anything Zabe and Claire have faced before reaches up from the grave—and it feels tainted by the Devourer Agod. Something new and terrible plagues the realms. Secrets are revealed, prophecies are fulfilled, and an entire dimension is destroyed in its wake.
