Tenebroum

After its victory over the Count, the Lich's domain now reaches far from Blackwater in every direction. It has gathered monstrous allies, constructed undead abominations, and enslaved small gods to its cause. However, none of that will be enough to sate its appetites. Instead, it has set its sights on goals so large that individual lives are almost meaningless, and whole nations and religions are nothing but stepping stones. The Lich is deathless and, therefore, unbound by mortal time scales. So, it can think bigger than anyone has dared before now. Unfortunately, even as the Lich orchestrates events from the shadows, heroes, ranging from lowly orphans to righteous Templars, gather to oppose it. Many can sense that something is wrong, and the loyal servants of the light will stop at nothing to stamp out its foul plans. To do that, though, they'll first have to uncover them. In this climactic second installment of undeath and evil, only time will tell whether light banishes the darkness or if darkness swallows the light.

No longer a mere lich, Tenebroum has chosen a name, devoured a god, and ascended to godhood itself. As formidable a victory as this was, though, it came at a steep price: its secrecy. Now, with the Lord of Light slain, the sun itself has been plucked from the sky, the entire world knows of its existence. The newborn Lord of Shadows will encounter countless foes ready to challenge it, both on and off the battlefield. To meet these new threats and satiate its bottomless hunger, the dread god will wage war upon the entire world, even the gods themselves. Tenebroum would never dream of engaging in fair combat. Instead, it will employ cunning traps and trickery, utilizing ever more bizarre constructs fashioned from the corpses and souls of its fallen enemies. Will entire nations be enough to sate its hunger as it grows and conquers? Can a new hero of the light rise to confront this dark god before it becomes truly unstoppable? Or will the world freeze solid under the reign of darkness, bringing life itself to a grinding halt?

Tenebroum has conquered the south, leaving devastation in its wake. Only a few sparks of light evade the Dread God's relentless gaze as it shifts toward the desert kingdoms of the north. To stand a chance, these kingdoms will need divine intervention. Fortunately, the gods are stirring. A number of divinities have stepped in to turn the tide, including perhaps the All-Father himself. Will their efforts be enough, or will new players emerge from the chaos to exploit the turmoil for their own gain? Amidst these world-shaking events, Jordan, Leo, and the other children of light must tread carefully while they search for a sanctuary beyond the reach of the encroaching darkness that has already claimed so much. Will they find a safe haven, or will they perish in the dark as the war rages on? Their journey is fraught with danger, but ancient prophecies hint at salvation. In this epic tale of courage and resilience, the fate of the world hangs in the balance. Will the combined might of gods and heroes be enough to thwart the darkness, or will Tenebroum's shadow engulf the entire world?

In the stunning conclusion to the five-volume saga, our dark god faces utter annihilation. Though Tenebroum has conquered vast stretches of the world, devouring armies and slaying gods, it is dying. While neither Siddrim nor the All-Father could manage to injure it, Tenebroum has just inflicted a mortal wound on itself, shattering its tainted phylactery to escape the Worm's grip. Now, hunted and fading, Tenebroum must defy fate, overcome its own impending demise, and finally win the decades-long war of conquest that it began so long ago. It must rise from the ashes of its own immolation and forge itself anew lest its lair become its own grave instead of humanity's. Will it succeed? Will the Lord of Darkness find a way to make the other remaining gods tremble as it finishes its long, bloody road to ultimate power?
