The Dragon King's Servant: The Nine Gates

With Bedelia killed and her Daemon siblings dead, Maalceus Drakkon is now the eternal Daemon king of the hell realms. However, the new status comes with responsibility. One for which he does not know how to accomplish. The nine realms of hell have been cut off from the rest of reality for thousands of years. Without a stable flow of energy, the realms are crumbling and an ancient threat looms within the crumbling realms. With each passing day the reality that keeps the threat imprisoned erodes just a little further. Maalceus, Kelly and their two children have searched the continents for the gates which are spread across the kingdoms. In order to understand the gates and his newly claimed Divinity, he has to search inside himself.
Meanwhile, Melanie and Lucian spend time with their newborn baby; Raedyn who is a wide eyed quiet child with a strange but powerful presence. As the search for the gates continue, Lucian and Melanie realize that the threat is far greater than they realize and isn't just a threat to them but to the whole world. Turning to the royal families of the council, Lucian asks for cooperation and assistance. The kingdoms are unsteady and alliances are thing though making trust and cooperation a farfetched idea.
While the hell realms grow unstable and Kingdoms try to forge alliances on unsteady ground. An unseen threat lurks in the shadows waiting for the time to strike down the royals and the Drakkons.
