My name's Noah Kilmartin. I'm from Ruddock, Ohio, and I'm absolutely, 100 percent unqualified to save the universe from the slavering demonic hordes of the super evil queen Lilith. Too bad nobody asked my opinion. All I've got to do is pass five lethal trials that'll prove I'm the universe's last chance at salvation. To do so, I'll have to lean hard on those three years of Okinawan jiu-jutsu classes I took in high school, learn to wield my new magic sword, and, oh yeah - select five women to flesh out my team.

There is one disgraced King’s Shieldsman left who remains loyal to Torsten, and only he can help free the Glass Kingdom from Redstar and his dark desires to revive the Buried Goddess.

When driven by a goal, the impossible oft becomes doable, like slaughtering an entire coven of the Twice Cursed God’s adepts without mercy, or leading a legion of demons to storm the last bastion of the Cursed Princedom. But as the impossible hurdles keep on coming, even that drive may not be enough for Krian to escape Demon Grounds, make it to the higher plane, reunite with his sister and friend, and exact vengeance on his mortal enemy....

As the favorite nephew of the devil, Frank has led a troubled life, but he'd always had his uncle's influence to fall back on.

Shroud counters by sending his most formidable servants to seize the artifact at all cost.

Ein anonymer Erzähler träumt von allerlei wunderlichen Ereignissen.

Er hat es geschafft, seinen Fluch in eine Tugend zu verwandeln, und kämpft auf der Seite der Guten. Das kann man aber leider nicht von jedem Übernatürlichen behaupten, und so steht Harbinger bald einem Werwolf gegenüber, der nur eins im Sinn hat: möglichst viele Anhänger um sich zu scharen und die Menschheit auszulöschen.
