Maddin lost his entire world to Reegan's malice. So when his foe escapes his vengeance by fleeing into the afterlife, Maddin gives chase. He arrives in the world of Aldersi, a once thriving planet now overrun with Seconds - souls given a second chance. The Aldersian gods accepted them in exchange for greater power, but their Faustian bargain has led to the degradation of their world. Against a backdrop of overcrowded decay, Maddin hunts for the wizard who robbed him of his kingdom, his wife, and his son. As Reegan amasses power in this new world, Maddin must do likewise if he is to avenge his family. He'll do whatever it takes to send Reegan to the hell he deserves.
