This is the Ninth Volume of Arheled, and the third of the World's End trilogy. Taking place three years after the previous Volume, a short work depicting the horrible dreary life of the worshippers of Bannon in the post-apocalyptic nightmare is given first. Ash covers the earth, the enlarged sun makes every day 120 degrees, all waters are blood, and the bone-forests roar in boiling winds in the dull red light. Then the final plagues of the Apocalypse gather, and hail like bricks smashes all things, and the Sun goes out, and the powers of the world gather upon Winsted, to wage the last futile defense against the Rider of the Darkness.
