The gang is after Callista’s lover, Mercutio, who has a magical key embedded in his heart. They need that key to get into a vault hidden away in Alnwick, England.

Magda’s pitch-black, cursed armor attacked Callista in her club and threw Mercutio into a wall of liquor bottles behind one of the club’s three bars. Is he hurt? Is he dying?

Lincoln, Gary Satyr, and Bobby the Brahma bull minotaur lined up to protect Callista from the armor. The fight is about to get nasty.

Meanwhile, Billy is waiting outside in the Old Stone Church’s van — but waiting for what?

Linc and the gang had weeks of prep planned for their raid on Callista’s subterranean lair in England, but Icepick’s hunt for Dante — and his rousting Dillon Cantrell for information on the goblin’s whereabouts — meant the gang had to move up the schedule dramatically.

To break into Callista’s anemone-chamber vault, where she keeps a piece of her soul, the gang needs Mercutio, who has a key to that vault embedded in his heart. They know Mercutio is in Callista’s club, along with the fire-witch herself, Gariginald “Gary” Satyr, Bobby the minotaur, and hundreds of club-goers.

It’s time to get that key.

Icepick is at Callista’s, hoping for an audience with her so he can ask about the tracksuit-wearing goblin Dante Oganov, who tried to have Callista killed back in SLAY Season One. But before Icepick can talk to the Queen of Fire, he'll have to get through her first line of defense — Gariginald “Gary” Satyr, the club’s highly efficient, slightly judgmental, and altogether snooty club manager.

Lincoln and Dante have put together a team that can break into the underground fortress at Alnwick, where Callista keeps a piece of her soul and uses it to channel magical energy from a hideous anemone polyp farm. Dante is on the run from both Callista and the powerful mage Vestinian. Vestinian hired Icepick to see if Dante is in Lumencia, and to kill him if he’s there.

Following a hunch, Icepick went to Cordis and confronted Dillon Cantrell, who brought Lincoln and Dante together for this objective. 

Is Icepick closing in?

And if he is, how does it affect the Alnwick caper?

At Ariella’s behest, Lincoln and Billy traveled to Israel, to the Hospitaller Commandery of Saint-Jean-d'Acre, and acquired the Cursed Armor of Sir Arnault the Pure. Magda can control the armor as if she were inside of it through the ear cuff Lincoln took after killing the Lich from Lynchburg. 

An agoraphobic trapped inside the Old Stone Church for years, can Magda possess the suit and make it walk out the front door?

Dante Oganov has a plan to acquire a shard of Callista’s soul and use it to take over her territory and free Lincoln’s son, Sam, from the vicious purgatory known as The Shelf. To accomplish this task, Lincoln needs to assemble a team that can do the impossible — where will he find the missing pieces for this do-or-die lineup?
