Haunted by the ghost of Callum O’Shea, Draummorc recalls how Kelcie’s struggle against the evil eye changed everything—freeing King Balor’s soul. After awakening in brutal retribution, Draummorc receives help, gains a key, assembles the needed tools, and sets out to trap Balor’s soul again using collected artifacts and potions.","[OceanofPDF.com](OceanofPDF.com)  \nBegin Reading  \nTable of Contents  \nAbout the Author  \nCopyright Page  \nThank you for buying this Tor Publishing Group ebook.  \nTo receive special offers, bonus content, and info on new releases and other great reads, sign up for our newsletters.  \nOr visit us online at  \n[us.macmillan.com/newslettersignup](us.macmillan.com/newslettersignup)[ ](us.macmillan.com/newslettersignup)[For email updates on the author](For email updates on the author), click here.  \n[OceanofPDF.com](OceanofPDF.com)  \nThe author and publisher have provided this e-book to you without Digital Rights Management software (DRM) applied so that you can enjoy reading it on your personal devices.

Every step closer only invigorated his aching legs. He was almost there. Only a curtain of dead yew trees stood between him and the black gate. Somewhere behind the fifty-foot stone wall lurked the ancient king’s evil spirit, and Draummorc was going to end him once and for all.  \nRight-left.  \nRight-left.  \nPassing the last tree, Draummorc glimpsed a mop of dark hair outlined by a subtle ethereal glow peek out from behind the trunk. Heart dropping with angst and guilt, Draummorc stopped. It couldn’t be, and yet a flash of a crooked smile let him know that it was. The ghost of Callum O’Shea was following him. It seemed somehow fitting that the last person Draummorc would see before facing King Balor would be his biggest regret. If he could trade places with Callum, he would.  \nKing Balor ’s impatience traveled the bond, needles shooting through his veins. Chest heaving, Draummorc gasped for deep, life-affirming breaths that were difficult to find in the stale air.  \nBefore his daughter became tangled in this nightmare, Draummorc had been resigned to live forever in a prison cell, draped in as much obsidian as Casper Thorn wanted to pile on. It didn’t matter that he could barely breathe, let alone ever spark a single element. Powerless and locked away, he was a worthless heir to King Balor, the lids of the evil eye shut forever. But when he heard his daughter begin the challenge for the eye’s power, King Balor ’s power, everything changed.  \nKnowing Kelcie was alive and in terrible danger gave him the will to not only live, but to fight—for her. In the end, her defeat of the evil eye knocked him unconscious for weeks.  \nWhen he woke, he knew right away that things had gone from bad to way, way worse. The first thing Draummorc heard was King Balor ’s vengeful cries. The first thing he felt was his retribution. The stabbing shock waves down his limbs left Draummorc bedridden. With the evil eye gone, there was only one explanation: King Balor ’s soul was no longer caged. It was free.  \nFor so long there was little Draummorc could do except lie on his cot, drowning in agony. Then, out of nowhere, a girl had appeared outside his prison cell.  \n“You should","cbCaik5TUF65K5FY","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaik5TUF65K5FY","pdf",2239788,370,"English","en",105,"# Prologue","[{\"question\":\"Who is Draummorc and what is he trying to do in the prologue?\",\"answer\":\"Draummorc approaches the black gate with the intent to end King Balor once and for all.
