Book excerpt: As Arata continues to dwell within the world of Laevateinn with Celes (or at least someone who greatly resembles her), a terrifying new foe transcends dimensions to lay siege to reality itself! Verthand the Nornir Giant has the power to turn all manner of creatures into minions for her army, and even the Heavenly Adjudicators are struggling to hold her back. But help’s on the way from the least likely of sources—what happens when gods and demons fight together?
