THE ASCENSION ARCHIVE: The Gates of Damnation - Volume Two
To carry his wife home, he must become the horror the underworld fears.
Menander, the hunted heir of a fallen kingdom, enters the Infernal Gate with his wife to recover a forbidden tome of blood sorcery. Within hours, she is dead, and the gate has vanished behind them.
Her body refuses to decay. Ahead lie the Cities of Torment, Hatred and Death, crawling with abominations that feast on mortal flesh.
Desperate to bring his wife home, Menander forges a blood pact with the Maiden of Marsis, a powerful spirit who grants him extraordinary strength and a terrible rage.
He has three days to deliver the tome or surrender his soul for eternity. But every monster he kills feeds the darkness growing inside him, stripping away the man his wife once loved.
THE GATE IS GONE
His wife is dead. The only way home has vanished. Trapped in the underworld with her body across his shoulders, Menander must cross three cities where the living are prey.
THE BLOOD PACT
Three days to deliver the tome. Eternity if he fails. The Maiden of Marsis brands Menander with unnatural strength and a devastating rage. If he fails her, his soul belongs to Kale Mora forever.
THE SHADOW STALKER
The monsters have found something worse than themselves. Every kill feeds the rage consuming Menander. The deeper he descends into violence, the less remains of the man his wife loved.
