Valko

Valko
Valko Vasseur wears the faces of his prey and chooses each one with cruel precision. A shapeshifter with no conscience, he turns torture into art, collecting trophies that reflect his victims’ flaws. He slips into the familiar faces of friends and loved ones to betray their trust and savor their pain. Driven by a dark pact, he seeks to unleash the greater fiend Astaroth upon the world. With the demon at his side, he plans to watch the world burn with mad glee.

Kalen

Kalen
Kalen’s quiet life on a remote island shatters when a secret order arrives. They accuse Kalen’s childhood friend, Logan, of planning to summon the dread fiend Astaroth. Torn between loyalty and duty, Kalen joins the hunt to find his friend and prove his innocence. His journey forces him to cross paths with Valko, who has chosen Kalen to be one of his next victims. Before the end, Kalen will confront a startling truth: Logan may be the world’s last hope or its final curse.

Astaroth

Astaroth
Astaroth, a greater fiend of The Thousand Legion, was imprisoned by the legendary Elflun Lightbringer thousands of years ago. Now he schemes to escape and, once free, he will burn the world and destroy its saviors. Scouring all life is only the first step in his plan. Nothing will stand in his way as he seeks the power of Creation and Uncreation. Every moment brings him closer to breaking his chains and reshaping the world in his image.

Azzlya

Azzlya
Azzlya, a gorgon whose friends and family were murdered by Valko, will stop at nothing to bring him to justice. When her path collides with a lich, a flesh golem, and a mute skeleton, she will be thrust into a war brewing between humans and hybrids. With Kalen’s help, she must uncover Valko’s identity before The Thousand Legion lays waste to everything in its path.
