Survive the realm. Outwit the Gatekeeper. Defy the rules. Rick Tagler barely escaped Timbervale alive. Now, burdened with grief and haunted by unfinished business, he and his unlikely party—Gail the Fae, Squatch the Bigfoot Outcast, and the formidable Grand Elf—clash over their next steps. But Torwall offers no time for hesitation. With its Gatekeeper’s power peaking during the deadly Hallowtide Festival, Rick’s survival hinges on mastering his evolving magic. Each level gained is a race against time—and against a rising tide of Infernal treachery. As the team ventures through the revelry of Hammersby and into the cursed Moors of Torwall, chilling secrets emerge. To defeat the necromantic fiend that rules this realm, Rick must choose: honor Grand Elf’s commands… or forge a perilous path of his own. One choice will lead them to victory. The other—to ruin.
