Warlock Richard Vandross is close to his dream of controlling all five of the Orbs of Eden's Serpent. With them, he'll be unstoppable. Even with the four he already controls, he can host armies of demons, greenskins, and wizards.Against Vandross, his former ally, Byron of Sidius, has gathered a small band. But they're already tired and discouraged--and the orbs themselves want to be united. If Byron stops Vandross, he may become the next threat.
