Elysium's Multiverse

When Earth is swallowed up and transmuted into a bestial landscape, it marks the first stage of induction into Elysium's multiverse. In an instant, the creatures of Riven Thane's worst nightmares are unleashed. Riven is among a select few with a singular bloodline. The Elysium system has its eye on him, and if he can survive deadly trials, labyrinthine mazes, and mind-bending puzzles, untapped powers await — along with a personalized tutorial in the dungeons of hell itself.

Riven crushed every trial in hell and escaped with two demon minions — and his life, more or less. Discovering his true self as a pureblooded vampire, he's feeling guilty and hungry in the newly formed world of Panu, where Earth has merged with two other worlds into a post-apocalyptic nightmare of goblins, elves, suicide zombies, and human remains. On a mission to find his sister Allie, Riven learns that every kill deepens his bloodlust — pulling him ever closer to becoming a full-blown harbinger of doom.

Riven and his sister Allie have embraced their vampire heritage to lead the Thane Necropolis, an expanding government with an undead army thousands strong. As they push north, a request for diplomacy from the Kingdom of Dawn arrives. Meanwhile, a Plague Dragon called Chalgathi is about to be reawakened by cultists, and billions will die if the fanatics have their way. Riven has been called upon to act. The Blood Moon Requiem may hold the key to their mysterious lineage — and to surviving what's coming.

Riven's triumph at Daskus and rescue of the succubus Fay have earned him a fearsome reputation. Now he's fostering a new empire — but his due inheritance, a high-grade planet called Lutseki, is being sold off by distant relatives before he can claim it. Off-world powers have injected themselves into the conflict, and a faction of vampires called Rippenvire has its sights set on the Kingdom of Dawn. War is coming.

Empires are rising from the ashes across the merged worlds of Panu. Riven Thane rules the Thane Necropolis — fifty-one million vampire citizens and six billion slaves — and he wants to grant the enslaved equal rights, much to the outrage of his court. Meanwhile, a personal enemy with a grudge is out for blood, targeting Riven's sister, fiancée, and attendant demon. Riven must tap into his darkest vampiric instincts to strike first.

Riven delves into the abyss — an infernal paradise of blood, depravity, and sin — to train and grow in power as a warlock. Pitted against countless off-world enemies while the Church of Greed hunts him through the underbelly of creation, he will be outnumbered. Above, the drums of a greater war beat louder. The empire of the undead is coming, and its invading forces want nothing more than to see Riven dead.

Riven has survived the first half of the Abyssal Descent, but questions mount. The Blood God isn't as transparent as he pretends, and whispered secrets about lost fragments of the Blood subpillar could elevate Riven — or brand him a heretic. The abyss itself is shifting; prison gates sealed for eons are opening as the Angel of Wrath makes herself known. With his sister Allie back on Panu leading the Necropolis, Riven must navigate diplomacy, bloodshed, and cunning alone.
