Though once an average wizard's apprentice, the evil sovereign known only as 'The Presence' has the distinct quality of having gained the hatred of heaven and hell alike. Cast aside to rule a bizarre alternate dimension filled with unending violence and bloodshed, those unfortunate to live under his command hire Alison, an assassin, to hunt and destroy him. Soon after her mission begins, Alison finds herself haunted by ghastly visions of death, destruction, and mass chaos.
