THE DARK LORD RISES As the Luminaries' Hero struggles to grasp the world's mysteries, he faces a confrontation with the original hero. He must come to terms with facts that challenge the way he has viewed the world. Elsewhere, the monsters' fortress is assaulted by new warriors seeking out the "new" Dark Lord. Thanks to the Dark Lord's protection, however, these new competitors become much needed allies. As his reputation continues to grow, the Dark Lord begins to realize that it is his bonds and relationships that empower him to rise again.

HIS ALTERED FORM REFLECTS THE CHANGES IN HIS HEART. Sheltering at the abandoned castle housing monsters fleeing savage humans, the Dark Lord is concerned to see the condition of its stones. Its old walls and ruined defenses crumble before the force of the two Luminaries bearing down, intent on the slaughter of all the refugees protected within. The Dark Lord is once more called to defend those who need him and answer his own uncertainties regarding his purpose in this new life.

A KING'S WORTH Faced with the horror of her sister's mutilated corpse, Queen of Concealment's sanity fractures and she loses control of her significant magical power. Her path of destruction reveals her and the Dark Lord to the humans, leaving them surrounded. When it's clear their escape is not possible, the Dark Lord makes a drastic decision, staying behind to face the human army alone. But when Luminary Blazing Lion Virgoski arrives, a battle of exponential scale ensues. Despite the odds against him, the Dark Lord intends to put up a fight worthy of a king.
