Once every six hundred years, a ruling descendant of Axeris must offer up a pure breed daughter of Khione to the ancient spirits to keep the seal over the undead army of Osyron from breaking open and unleashing the wrath of the blood thirsty god upon the people of Astaroth and the other six kingdoms.
Lord Ryder’s rule falls under this year and he has his eyes set on Lyra, a pure breed descendant and princess of Dragonsbane, but there are complications when he tries to get her, she cannot remember him and he cannot offer her up if she is not in love with him. 
Time is running out, the seal is very unstable and everything seems to be working against him as he is soon caught up in a whirlwind of impossibilities and forced to make a difficult choice.
There are secrets and twists as this is a tale woven into a maze of labyrinths, with each turn unlocking a new and unpredictable play out, until he is left standing against all he had ever believed in.
 

Ryder, Lord Of Astaroth

 King Duras was shaken into sobriety, the horrific sight before him, seeing his own commander’s severed head, seeing Dimian Tekren’s severed head on the platter was terrifying enough to do so. He was up on his feet and shaken to the bone, what did they say he had done to be punished in such a manner? And… he turned to look at his queen who looked just as terrified as he did and could not take her eyes of the head on the platter. They had said she had something to do with this as well, but what exactly had they done? What did they commit? And what was their crime?
