Few have ever turned adversity to their advantage with the success or scale of Lucifer Morningstar, once-beloved of Heaven and retired ruler of Hell. After opening a gateway to a realm outside of all Creation, he has managed not only to defend it against all comers but also to outmaneuver his angelic brethren and achieve his grandest ambition - creating a new universe, with himself in charge. Now, as Lucifer labors in his new-formed garden of Eden, schemes and plots are growing among those left behind in the old world - particularly in Hell, where the minor lords of the damned play at a human masquerade, hoping to use th epower of the Morningstar to further their own infernal ends. The pity is how few among them can envision the power we are gambling with - or just how high the stakes are going to get.
