I · The Main Plot

Where We Start

Dorian is trapped in Hell, cut off from the Godking bodies of his past lives, with a rival consuming the Multiverse and no respawns left if he dies.

Major Plot Points & Spoilers

  2. He must quickly gain enough power to rival the Multiverse's strongest force while bounty hunters chase him across Hell (Aethon Books).
  3. The journey crosses demon empires and monster-filled swamps (Aethon Books).
  4. A heist is planned: Dorian tries to steal the crown jewel of Hell's most powerful merchant kingdom (Aethon Books).
  5. Goodreads lists the book with 4.35 from 505 ratings at the time of checking.
  6. Individual chapter order and the heist's outcome are not recorded in our sources.

Where the Book Leaves Off

Not recorded chapter by chapter. The Book 4 blurb opens with Dorian having escaped the Auction, which suggests the Auction is part of this book's closing arc, but the details are not confirmed.
