Written by various authors and members of the Diablo development team, this book focuses on the pervasive evil of those games and the struggle to earn a single moment of reprieve in Sanctuary. “From the slums of Kingsport to the shores of the Cold Isles, the belching sewers of Khanduran holdfasts to a crumbling castle on the moors of Scosglen, Hell takes root in its varied forms. But a warning is offered to those who would challenge it: evil endures defeat, death, and time. Lose vigilance for but a moment, and it will return to claim what it is owed,” the official book synopsis reads.
For more Diablo reading material, you can pick up Diablo: Tales from the Horadric Library for $18.66 at Amazon (was $30). This is another compilation of short stories written by members of the Diablo development team and horror authors and should be the perfect companion to the upcoming Shadows of Sanctuary collection.
