Black Halo

When it comes to demons, nothing is ever as simple as it seems.

Fresh from their adventures and having reclaimed the Tome of the Undergates, the malefic doorway between earth and hell and all the vile creations that desperately wish to break through, Lenk and his companions are weary.  Weary of the bloodshed, weary of the demons and berserker warrior women out to kill them and, most of all, weary of each other.

More than eager to return the tome to its rightful owner, collect their reward and be done with each others’ paranoia and distrust, their voyage home is delayed by a sudden shipwreck.  Riding a black tide to a floating graveyard posing as an island, filled with monsters posing as people, the companions are faced with new challenges.  Even as bloodthirsty lizardmen hunt them, as voices from hell torment them, as a sadistic beast masquerading as a man seeks them, their greatest struggle may be surviving themselves.

Not that the imminent threat of dismemberment is helping at all.
