But when the night came... only fifty souls alone were chosen. As Io's quest reaches its deadly and dramatic conclusion, things are not all as they seem in the sorceress' game for the right to rule. Still trapped inside the torturous nightmares within the castle, who will remain in the battle for the throne, and which of the chosen will be lost along the way? Or will they fail in their attempts to escape the horrors within? Alexis Deacon draws his Geis trilogy to an epic and emotive conclusion in this newly branded volume, packed to the rafters with his beautiful artwork and gripping storytelling.
