Bastard of the Death God — Christopher D. Schmitz

With members of the Gods'own dead, dying, or absent, Melkior makes a pact with a god and goes where only one mortal has ever traveled before. Using Drakyntatsu's Sphere, the book penned by the mad dwarf, Sabian, Melkior descends into Hell. He was cautioned to make no sound in the realm of the dead, but when the demonic shadow-things sense that flesh has entered their abode, Melkior is put to the test. He must overcome in order to rescue Ailushurai from the chains of the underworld! Melkior belongs to the shara—a race that secretly believes in their ability to vie with the gods, potentially even gaining godhood. Does the Dragonlord have the strength to contend against Selurehl, god of the Void and third brother of the most powerful triune deities?  This exciting, new 12-story event in the Esfah Sagas begins the Godmaker story arc and is also known as Time of the Champions.
