To be denied at the threshold of victory can be crushing. Max and his friends have sacrificed much to achieve their goal and restore the dark. They are battered and bruised, yet now they find another legion of powerful enemies barring the path ahead, occupying the very castle Arinna must reclaim. Any sane person would throw up his skeletal hands and be done with it all but not Max. He's more powerful than ever and there's no chance in hell he's going to give up without a fight, whatever the odds. It's time for the team to come together, bringing everything they have to expel the forces of light. The conflict will take them to places they've never been and ask more of them than ever before. With only hours of Max's time remaining, it will be far from easy, but nothing of value is.
