Ess existed, in a place outside of the normal universe. A creature of another time, of a race ages dead and in no way human, Ess had been banished from the world two centuries ago, imprisoned by the man called Kavin. To Ess, the race of man was almost beneath note... but he needed their world. And to escape from his prison he would work through the twisted mind of a mad emperor... and through the empty evil of a creature who wanted only Kavin's soul. To save his world Kavin must return from the dead... even through the enemies he faced could not be defeated. For Ess was their master... and Ess could not die...
