Publisher's Synopsis
Xia Morningstar finds himself still trapped in Creation, this time on the burned-out husk of a planet with his twin sister, his minion Sam and three traveling companions. What was Lucifer, his great-grandfather up too, and why had he not taken them home to Hell? Determined, they set out to unravel the mysteries of their birth. Why was his newly found twin sister spirited away to spend her youth in Creation? How did their existence fit into the games The Powers, both above and below, were playing? Xia's sister had only barely begun the struggle with the revelations of her new identity before being whisked away from the only home she'd known. For years she was just a healer on a small world, and now she is the Great Grandchild of Creation's most misunderstood Power. Her entire life was little more than smoke and mirrors. Now she was here, with the brat prince of Hell, her brother, as they discovered the old wounds between The Host and Hell had not only never healed but in many ways had grown rot and began to fester. The Great War, which tore Creation apart, wasn't over but instead awaiting the spark which would again rekindle the battle. Was that them? Were they the fix or just another unwitting weapon in The Dark Lord's arsenals? What had become obvious were that steps were being made, pawns moved, and plans drawn. Since her and Xia's reunion, unexpected allies had begun to show their support in the hopes of either bringing peace or a final destruction to all The Father had created. But Xia was distracted, his sights had changed. He was no longer interested in the games The Powers were playing, the talking monkeys he so loved to watch suffer or any of his old diversions back in Hell. Xia had set his sights set on something new, The Father himself. This elusive "Creator" was the answer, and Xia intended to flush him out, bringing him to judgment and personally administer the punishment he felt was long overdue.
