Feotora views Kraisis training and insists on a fight to vent her frustrations. Kraisis accepts. A fight ensues, with Feotora being hit a few times before getting a good strike against Kraisis which is immediately returned. Illarion interrupts before Kraisis can do too much more to Feotora, and Illarion shows Feotora to his chambers. Illarion starts to explain how he came from Earth through a door, and that all Destined and Dark Ones have come from Earth. Illarion claims Earth has stolen the Narrative from Mirandus, and that King Gosovic refuses to accept Illarion's explanations. Illarion claims now that Earth has stolen the Narrative, the people of the light need to force it to change, that he must be the last Destined One, and it needs a true leader to lead them.
Late at night, a dark figure sneaks into King Gosovic's chambers and draws a knife. The doors are closed quietly. The following day, Illarion announces the king's death, and crowns Feotora queen. Feotora organizes a plan of attack against Paul and the drull, and leads Kraisis and an army of troops to the
In the courtroom, the judge denies the defendant's request as the State of New York does not accept the death penalty as a punishment. Mr Caligo, disappointed in the decision and Lin's efforts on his behalf, uses his powers to seize control of everyone except Lin in the courtroom. Mr Caligo explains it is the hatred of him that allows him to do so, and he demands Lin take a gun off a security guard, threatening and killing several people until she does.

;Plot Summary
Feotora leading Kraisis and the soldiers of the light arrive at the dark city. A drull, sees the arrival and a horn is blown to announce the arrival of the army. Rastik leads Paul to his armor before they discuss activating the Ironkeepers. A soul is required to activate them and Rastik offers themselves. Paul kills Rastik, and the Ironkeepers are activated.
Mr Caligo, still controlling everyone in the courtroom on Earth except Lin, reveals himself as Malmahan the Uncalled. He reveals how only fragments of memory are left of people from Mirandus, explaining why people had trouble remembering him despite the horrid crimes he committed. Malmahan reveals a device called the [[Peragator]], a device to get him back to Mirandus. When a soul dies, it touches the Narrative, allowing Malmahan to do anything. A doorway to Mirandus will be opened with one last death, which he insists must be his own, but at the hands of Lin whilst she remembers her son Paul. Lin shoots Malmahan after he threatens to kill everyone she knows and they both disappear.
Paul as the Dark One, enters the battle, leading the Ironkeepers and instructing them to devastate the light. Feotora and Kraisis defeat many drull and destroy an Ironkeeper before Paul and Kraisis come face to face. Nikka and Rastik, who is now a ghostly figure like Nikka, believe Paul will fail as that is the way of the Narrative. But Paul defeats Kraisis, stealing his soul and returning it to the soil to give life to more drull. The dark now fight back and Paul faces off against Feotora. Paul tries to convince Feotora to retreat or join him, remembering the bond they shared when they first met. Feotora refuses and Paul defeats Feotora before she calls a retreat. Nikka and Rastik are proud and unsure, now that the Narrative is silent after what Paul has accomplished, defeating the light. Paul, standing in front of a mass of drull, declares himself the Dark One and pledges to love the unloveable. The drull will never go unloved again.
Whilst wandering outside, Paul is pulled back to Earth, to the courtroom where Mr Caligo was recently on trial. The police move in and take Paul into custody whilst demanding to know the location of Lin, believing Paul to be the suspect. The police lead Paul away whilst he insists he is not crazy.
