At Calista’s club, Icepick has the upper hand. He’s told Callista to call off the transfer of her assets to the drug-dealing goblin Dante Oganov. One of those assets is the contract that keeps Lincoln’s son, Sam, trapped on the Shelf. If Icepick kills Dante, it’s game over—Callista keeps the contract, and Sam remains in this violent purgatory forever. Trying to find a way to win, Lincoln challenged Icepick to a duel to the death. Despite his injuries, Lincoln won that violent duel, breaking Icepick’s arm before putting him down with an armored knee to the balls. That should have been all she wrote, but Icepick—hurt and barely conscious—called for help from his killer diamortuga. With Billy and Dante restrained by magic-suppressing cables, Lincoln is on his own. Can he survive an attack from a two-ton, man-eating turtle?

Icepick and Herbie the Love Bug crashed Dante’s victory party at Callista’s club. Icepick took out Dante, Billy, and Lincoln, and put the “Oleous Oakbeard Big Druid Whammy” on the Cursed Armor of Sir Arnault the Pure. That destroyed the suit and zapped Magda’s spirit back to her body in the Old Stone Church, leaving Billy and Linc at Icepick’s mercy.

Dante used Callista’s dormantus—the piece of her soul that channeled raw magical power from the anemones in the cavern beneath the Alnwick Poison Garden—to blackmail her into giving him her Lumencia properties and criminal organizations. She is also giving Dante the contract that keeps Lincoln’s son, Samuel, trapped on The Shelf.  As soon as Ariella Goldman, Lincoln’s lawyer, and Shocking Cock Kahn, Callista’s lawyer, finish filing the paperwork, Samuel will finally be set free. Lincoln, Dante, Billy, and Magda—who controls Sir Arnault the Pure’s Cursed Armor—are at Callista’s club, which is now Dante’s club, celebrating as they patiently wait for the magical ink to dry. Is Lincoln’s grueling quest to save his son finally over?
