- been
- one
- month
- since
- Ian’s
- reunited
- friends
- escaped
- the
- hellish
- game
- of
- Meido
- and
- saved
- him.
- The
- survivors
- may
- have
- sealed
- the
- gate
- to
- the
- world
- of
- the
- dead
- shut
- and
- destroyed
- Empress
- Izanami,
- but
- that
- doesn’t
- mean
- they
- aren’t
- still
- reeling
- over
- the
- challenges
- they
- endured.
- Trying
- to
- relax
- back
- in
- the
- world
- of
- the
- living,
- they
- take
- solace
- in
- the
- fact
- that
- they
- rescued
- Ian
- from
- the
- nightmare
- that
- tried
- to
- steal
- him
- away.
- But
- there’s
- just
- one
- problem—Ian
- didn’t
- come
- home
- alone.The
- empress—now
- possessing
- Ian's
- heart—hitched
- a
- ride
- into
- their
- world
- and
- the
- only
- way
- to
- free
- Ian
- from
- her
- grasp
- is
- to
- find
- three
- artifacts
- for
- her,
- sacred
- objects
- which
- have
- been
- hidden
- across
- many
- realms.
- Unwilling
- to
- leave
- Ian
- behind
- a
- second
- time,
- his
- friends
- dive
- into
- a
- new
- deadly
- game,
- with
- terrifying
- challenges
- that
- not
- only
- test
- their
- mettle,
- but
- demand
- sacrifices—including
- their
- very
- lives.If
- they
- don’t
- retrieve
- the
- empress’s
- artifacts,
- Ian
- will
- be
- lost
- forever,
- but
- if
- they
- do,
- it
- could
- be
- the
- end
- of
- their
- world
- as
- they
- know
- it.At
