The pieces are in place as the players ready themselves for their final moves in this no-limit game. At stake is the throne of Pheliosta, as well as the livelihood of our favorite princess, Ishtar. Illsaide is questioning his loyalties toward Falan! And, he's strong enough to tip the scale in favor of whomever he aligns with, but will he choose Ishtar or Lassen?

Yujinn has been murdered by the King of Razenia. When this is discovered, Vord violently seeks out the murderer. But how can he possibly avenge his friend when his killer is his own flesh and blood? And why did the King of Razenia murder Yujinn in the first place?

The Vampire King Dusel, now reincarnated as Ishtar's pet wildcat, vows to avenge his previous slaughter at the hands of Phelios. But he has to find whom Phelios has been reincarnated as, something he can assess only by tasting his blood.

While waiting for his turn during the final round of the competition, Darres receives shocking information from Yujinn. Ishtar's three cousins may not have blood ties to Phelios! If this is true, they are not eligible for Ishtar's hand in marriage, much less the throne of Pheliosta!

Political intrigue, martial arts action, humorous hijinks, and cases of cross-dressing all come to a head as Duzell's adventure in La Naan reaches its exciting conclusion. The unbeatable Seiliez has made a deal with the demonic vampire Sharlen. All he need do to collect the keys to the kingdom is defeat the Princess Ishtar in the final battle of the La Naan Martial Arts Tournament. Will her bodyguard, the dashing Sir Darres, come to her rescue?

Ishtar and Duzell end up in the kingdom of Ci Xeneth, which is ruled by Lord Jened (Ishtar's uncle), an evil, murderous man with a burning desire to gain the throne of Pheliosta. When they decide to enter the nefarious Jened's castle in disguise in order to ferret out his true intentions, some serious cases of mistaken identity ensue...

When the disguised Duzell and Ishtar visit the kingdom of Ci Xeneth and discover an unusual collection of love affairs, plots for war, hidden identities and the inhumane treatment of monsters, they must temporarily put aside their mission to find Phelios. In the mayhem that ensues will Duzell say 'I do' to Illsaide?

The war brewing in the castle of Ci Xeneth boils down to a final showdown between Ishtar, Duzell and Darres against Lord Jened and his High Sorcerer, Diaage. Ishtar is willing to risk her life to help the King of Merarim fulfill his last wish. And Darres is determined to risk everything to save Ishtar. Falan observes helplessly in horror, caught between the love for her father, and her desire for justice.

When the news Prince Yuujel's return reaches everyone in Zi Alda, all hell breaks lose, leaving Ishtar, Duzell and Darres are speechless. Lady Leene's resentment becomes more apparent - although married to Captain Ashely, she still carries a torch for the prince. As her fury grows, so, too, does a plot to destroy Ishtar and all those close to her!

Panged by guilt, Leene is unable to go through with her murderous plans. Filled with mixed feelings, she still cannot cast aside her desire to kill... or her growing affection for Ishtar! What's a Lady to do? Will she let her conscience be her guide?

The year is 12,090 A.D., and what little is left of humanity has finally crawled out from the ashes of war and destruction. From the darkness of fallout, the Nobility, a race of vampires, have spawned. They rule the weak with no remorse. Villagers cower in fear, hoping and praying for a savior to rid them of their undying nightmare. All they have to battle this danger is a different kind danger: a Vampire Hunter.

The people of the village of Tepes once cowered in fear beneath the shadow of the Nobility manor. But the Nobility moved on, and the castle sat empty, a place whispered of in ghost stories to caution young children to stay away. One day, four of the village children vanished. Only three eventually returned, with no memory of what happened or where they went...
