Few have turned adversity to advantage on a scale comparable to Lucifer Morningstar. After gaining entry to a realm outside his own Creator's dominion - and defending it against a host of would-be usurpers - the former lort of Hell has achieved his createst ambition: the creation of a new universe in which his will is absolute. Now, after settling the last of his terrestrial (and infernal) obligations, Lucifer has turned to the familiar task of gathering souls. But in contrast to his previous charges immigrants to his new cosmos will receive freedom instead of torment. The only law by which they must abide is that they never bow down in worship - to anyone. Not all who pass through Lucifer's gates are content to honour those terms, however. And as proud as he is in his achievement, Lucifer should know better than anyone that pride goeth before a fall.
