Driven by a newfound purpose, Von Beck must confront his own demons before the girl's soul is lost forever.

Along the way, he finds unexpected allies: A secretive faun, a librarian bound by Fate, a pair of exiled demon sisters. As Von Beck unearths the secrets of his identity, he learns that he may be more than a mere mortal—he may be the reincarnation of Hell's greatest warlord. In this gripping tale of redemption and sacrifice, Von Beck's journey leads him to the threshold of his own destiny. Can he relinquish his thirst for vengeance and save Beatrice's soul before Hell itself is destroyed?
