Sequel to 'Heirs of Fate'. Three months after the Bride Tournament and his marriage, Bellerophon Pegasus is dying. The curse of the Egyptian Gods steals away the shine of his future breath by painful breath. Worse, the sins of his father overshadow him, threatening to steal all he loves. And even as he battles against ancient darkness, it just seems to herald a greater terror...

So much is left buried in the sands of time, in the sands of Ancient Egypt. Priest Seto has just seen his kingdom, his home, swallowed by the darkness. A broken Egypt with a broken man as king. So what kind of king was he? What drove him? What did he did after the end of the world? And what did he learn from his trials? This, friend, is put one interpretation of a lost history.

Five years after The Thousand-Year Door tournament, Lyrius Stormcloud must return to Arcadia to combat the evils that rush to fill the void left by the defeat of his wife, the Shadow Queen. Aided by the ruler of all vampires, a worn-down retired Eliminator and the same Unicorn Maiden who defeated his Queen, he must fit together broken pieces of his life into a crown once more.
