Five months have passed since the destruction of the Underground Headquarters, and the plan to thwart the Chancellor's diabolical plan to form a new human race seems to have been buried with it.

Five months of searching for her fellow assassin and brother-in-arms, Justin, and the two magi accompanying him. Maude is exhausted. Rumours of experiments taking place under the watchful eye of the twisted Doctor Hadrad have been circulating far and wide, from those who have managed to escape the horrific conditions of the uranium mines. Although hopeful for her friends' survival, it may mean they are subject to a fate worse than death.

Five months since Maude and those she now looks out for - the survivors of the Underground movement - lost the two famed Healers of Avalonia, one sacrificing herself for their survival. Is the other sister still alive? Or has she too been made an experiment of the Chancellor's evil doctor?

Five months of a darker force amassing on the neighbouring continent of Cimeria - the creation of the Angelus Mortem. She is finally forming.

The Angel of Darkness is coming for them all.

The Angel of Death.
