Synopsis

Cal and Dale have both grown stronger, and each is more dangerous to the other than ever. Cal's schemes for expanding and defending his dungeon grow more elaborate, but unbonded Dungeon Cores are prone to slipping into madness, and the pressure is starting to show. Dale works to counter Cal's plans through the shifting politics of the adventurers who now depend on the dungeon for their livelihood, all while a distracting, unexplained voice needles at his concentration in the worst possible moments. As an ancient madness spreads through the land, Cal and Dale start to realize their rivalry may be the least of their problems. The second book in the Divine Dungeon series raises the stakes on both sides of the dungeon wall.
