In the final book of the Illmoor Chronicles, the oldest evil has awoken, and the fate of the kingdom rests in the hands of only one . . .
Illmoor has seen many heroes: Groan, the muscled mercenary who became king; Jareth Obegarde, a mysterious and quick-witted half vampire; and Jimmy Quickstint, a former thief and professional gravedigger who has embarked on more than a few dangerous adventures. But when the ancient and powerful Vanquish rises in Illmoor after an eon in waiting, the continent seems doomed. Towns across the kingdom are in ruin, destroyed by a marching zombie horde controlled by the terrible Vanquish. And there's nothing the few remaining defenders of Illmoor can do about it.
That is, unless they can find an equally ancient and powerful force to combat the one that has set their homeland aflame. This ragtag band of Illmoor's most dubious heroes must join together one final time to bring the kingdom's last great hope for survival into the battle—before it's too late.

      Thanks to a remarkably stupid trick in the previous episode (The Vanquish Vendetta, 2014), a soul-stealing dark god has escaped its ancient prison and is out for revenge. Time to open a fresh can of heroes. The various mountebanks, mercenaries and nonhuman warriors met earlier on in the series aren't going to be much help this time-particularly the several, such as man-mountain Groan Teethgrit, king of Phlegm, who have become mindless slaves of the re-risen god Vanquish. Still, it's up to ex-thief Jimmy Quickstint, half-vampire Obegarde and the rest to try. Unfortunately, the bad guys include a god, a pair of newly formed zombie armies and a pair of fire-blasting dragons. Fortunately, in trot experienced dragon-slayer Grid Thungus and his deceptively human-looking companion, Moltenoak, to join the hastily assembled good guys. Strewing corpses before the first chapter even starts, Stone throws his cast, which is diverse of species but all male with one minor exception, into various adventures then sends Jimmy and friends to the city of Dullitch to find Vanquish's hoard of stolen souls while everyone else meets at Coldstone for a diversionary climactic slaughter. The silly names and occasional caricatures lighten all the bloodshed, and this, the final book in the series, brings the proceedings to a satisfying and. Consider this finale (published overseas in 2007) Terry Pratchett lite for fans of sword and sorcery bonbons. (Fantasy. 10-13)
