Dark Dimensions
Darrel Roberts has been given the Book of Keos, the key to the Gates of Heaven and all the treasure that lies within.

Darrel's only hope may be a madman who seems to be everywhere and knows more than most about other dimensions. Will Darrel be able to stay alive long enough to complete his work on this desired book or will he suffer the same fate as the slaughtered monks that wrote it?
