Here in Cold Hell

The Progeny of God and Mortal

The progeny of both god and mortal endures ceaseless war in a frozen hell in the second volume of the Lionwolf scrolls.

Lionwolf's Awakening

Lionwolf awakes on an unfamiliar shore under a cold blue sun, with no memories save the sensation of being in the deadly womb of the sea. Others join him, and they too cannot remember who they are or where they have been. Though Lionwolf can''t remember his name—and, in fact, calls himself Nameless—he feels like he was once a king. The twenty-three men on the shore are his army, and soon they are called to duty.

The Journey to Shabatu

Eyeless blue hounds and snake-haired figures riding eight-legged horses lead the men toward a towering city where a bestial mouth trumpets a horrible battle cry. It is Shabatu, a Place of War. There, Lionwolf sets eyes on the king''s lover, Chillel—the woman who was once Lionwolf''s wife.

Questions of Death and Hell

Are Lionwolf and his men dead? And is Shabatu perhaps their hell?
