*A THE GATHERING OF SHADOWS NOVELLA TOLD BY LUCIFER* After the battle of Agalmath, and with his five books now in his possession, Lucifer and his servants have taken the ancient Bellatorian fortress of Benhir Karbor, where they've gathered a numerous army of Fallen Stars, Nephilins, Men, and Beasts. As the Dark One plots his massive attack against Elysium and Tristar, a secret festers in his heart--one he has managed to keep even from his most loyal servants. The certainty of his victory is also shattered when shadows of his past return and betrayal arises amongst those who serve him. "There are darker things hidden in my heart than any darkness you've ever seen."
