To break his curse, Adol must embark on a perilous journey into the past and unravel the centuries of dark secrets lurking in the mysterious depths of the Balduq prison. But nothing can possibly prepare him for the ultimate enemy waiting for him at the end of the path. Thrown into a deadly battle, Adol must stake his sanity and his very survival against the ancient terror that had plagued the land since the beginning of time.
