Publisher's Note The chilling outcome of "Death of a Darklord", featuring the archvillain Harkon Lukas, will forever change the nature of the lands of the mists! The village of Cortton is struck by a plague of the dead. Corpses walk the streets in search of the living. The villagers summon the mage-finder Jonathan Ambrose, for they believe evil magic is at work. They are right. Jonathan soon discovers that it is Harkon Lukas who is behind the destruction of the town. But what he doesn't know is that this is a part of the darklord's bigger plan to escape the bounds of his realm and travel the Dark Dominions as he pleases. If Harkon Lukas succeeds...the slaughter has only begun.
