Plot Outline:

Following the burial of an old, dear friend, Archie returns to the Merge. He's enjoying his stay in a realm of waterless canals and upside-down pyramids, but when a day trip to a beautiful sinkhole goes terrifyingly awry, he winds up imprisoned in a brutal, isolated hellhole. With a collection of fellow locksmiths, Archie is forced to work on a plan to restore a deadly tyrant to their throne. As he desperately searches for a way to outwit the demons who hold him in their clutches, he must also struggle to come to an understanding of the strange demon he carries within. Everything is on the line, and Archie's choices will decide not just his own future, but the destiny of the Merge...

This is the Complete Volume Three of the Archibald Lox series, bringing together books 7, 8 and 9 -- Archibald Lox and the Sinkhole to Hell, Archibald Lox and the Pick of Loxes, and Archibald Lox and the Legion of the Lost -- and presenting them as a single story, the way they were originally written.
