The Black Moon Chronicles 12 The Gates Of Hell

Wismerhill has finally made it to the top and it seems like nothing more can get in his way. But then he gets a surprise visit from his father, who he thought was dead. The mysterious Prince of Clouds reveals some hard truths that shake up Wismerhill's world and stir him into action. But he has to move fast! The gates of hell have been opened and demonic hoards are wreaking havoc all over the empire. Wismerhill sets out on an urgent quest to save the Earth from absolute destruction.

Having learned of the Black Moon's diabolical schemes to take over the world with a demon invasion, Wismerhill turns his back on his former master, thwarting his plans by closing the gates of Hell. Now, Wismerhill and his loyal companions know that it is only a matter of time before Haazheel Thorn comes after them. This day could be their last...

Humanity's survival is in his hands, and being the emperor of the world is no picnic... But other fears have been invading Wismerhill's dreams of late, telling him to get ready, for something is coming... some cruel and merciless evil. The premonitions whisper of a nameless threat... and of death!

A great war has been brewing for some time. Now, at last, armies from all sides are marching toward the battlefield. The terrifying Haazheel Thorn is already waiting to meet them, as either friend or foe. Wismerhill and the gang have been wreaking havoc throughout the empire, and the time has come for Wismerhill to choose sides. The Black Moon beckons, Wismerhill complies, and the gates of hell open.

Although the One and Only succeeded in brushing Beelzebub aside, the gateway to Hell remains open, spewing forth endless demonic legions. And to make matters worse, Wismerhill was killed on the battlefield. All hope seems lost until, to the astonishment of his grieving friends, he brings himself back to life. But the empire will never be able to win this fight alone, for the unrelenting denizens of the underworld demand their pound of flesh and refuse to return to the depths of Hell without it.

With his terrifying new powers as High Lord of Negation, Wismerhill and his master, Haazheel Thorn, are finally ready to do battle with the empire. And what a fierce battle it is! Dragons crowd the sky, pouring fire and blood onto the trolls, ogres, elves, and humans engaged in the grueling battle below. They fight long and hard, but all must come to an end at some point. The question is: who will be victorious... and at what price?

After an epic dual with the Emperor, Wismerhill comes through as victor... and his reward from the Black Moon is more than he ever imagined. He rises to the challenge and begins constructing a new life and a new empire. It is written, after all. But the real question is: what else is written that Wismerhill is yet to discover?

Some wait hours, some wait months before they're summoned by the oracle to hear their destiny. But not Wismerhill. He's barely set foot on the sacred site when he hears the call. It seems the oracle had been waiting for him. But Wismerhill doesn't want to know his destiny; he just wants to know where his father is. With new information in hand, the motley crew sets off once again on their travels through strange lands. Little do they suspect the demons that are on their trail...

An ordinary week for Emperor Wismerhill the First isn't, oddly enough, all that ordinary... Especially when it begins with a visit from a god who shouldn't actually exist...

The noble Prince Parsifal has taken things in hand, and all are at peace in the empire. But this is just the calm before the storm. Behind a veil of shadows, Wismerhill and his master Haazheel Thorn are gathering the most terrifying army the world has ever seen. The Black Moon wants Wismerhill to take his power to the next level, but will Wismerhill be prepared to sacrifice his humanity for the sake of such a tempting promotion?
