When Dilvish escaped from Hell, he swore to kill the evil wizard who had put him there. But Jelerak, Lord of Castle Timeless, was missing. And around the Castle, the Changing Land was a sorcerous maelstrom of warped reality and living nightmare created by the awesome magic of the insane god, Tualua. Now a small army of magicians, sorcerers and wizards - like resurrected Queen Semirama, foul Baran of the Third Hand, and lovely Ariata the Elf - sought to possess the arcane secrets of Castle Timeless. The situation, Dilvish realized, was a mess. Caught in thaumaturgic chaos as wizardry fought sorcery, where the churning drams of a mutating god could shatter the world, Dilvish sought Jelerak through the most deadly magic spells of Destiny and Time.
