The best laid plans always fall apart... especially when someone dies. Ares knew traveling into Death's realm was risky. But no cost is too high when it comes to saving the ones he loves. Rather than a battle of skills, a battle of wits is necessary to return them to life. If Ares wins, he returns home with their souls. If he loses... Death has other plans for them. The final fight in the war between light and dark is imminent, and there can only be one winner. Will their past allies band together to save the world from a brutal ruler? Or will old prejudices between species be the downfall of them all?
