The Master is Dead. The War Rages. Demons Close In.
Gustav's world has been shattered. His mentor is dead, and his enemies are closing in. The demonic Codex Daemonum, the key to saving Anike's father, remains an enigma.

Time is running out, and Gustav must confront not only his enemies but also his own doubts. To master the Codex, he'll need to master himself and his growing supernatural powers before the rising darkness consumes them all.
Will Gustav unleash his true power in time-or fall to the shadows forever?
