Twenty years after the events of Divine Divinity, a paladin with a lifelong hatred of necromancers is hunting one particularly dangerous practitioner when everything goes wrong. A demon named Samuel intervenes, dragging the paladin into another universe entirely—and soul-forging him to a death-knight, a being of pure evil that stands for everything the paladin has spent his life fighting against. Bound together and trapped in an unfamiliar world, the mismatched pair must find a way to break the soul-forge. Freedom means returning to the life you chose. Failure means spending eternity chained to the thing you despise.
