The King in Yellow, manifestation of the concept of madness, has his sights set on conquest. He has hungered for Iteration 5169 for a long time, but one thing has been standing in his way: Cobalt City and its so-called superheroes. His alliance with Loki helped get fascist demagogue Lyle Prather into the office of the Presidency, tipping the world to the edge of madness. The King in Yellow's faded city of Carcosa has never been closer to sliding into this crumbling world. What he needs is something big. Something mad. Some global event to shatter the fragile sanity of the population. And the other Old Gods aren't answering his calls. Thankfully, his once loyal anchor, the unctuous Louis Malenfant, invoked the rage of powerful dragon lord The Flame Who Fell From The Heavens. The vengeful dragon lord is more than happy to deliver the coordinates for Cobalt City #5169 to his kin from around the Coil and bring a storm of unholy might down upon the city. The storm of war is on the horizon. And with the world's heroes scattered, unorganized, and suppressed by the government, who dares stand against the coming DRAGONSTORM? Featuring stories from some of Cobalt City's favorite authors, join a group of unlikely heroes on an even more improbable battleline!

Ruby Killingsworth relies on magic to keep her entertainment empire on top. When a ritual gone wrong robbed her of this magic, she wasn't about to take it lying down. Enlisting Loki's aid and commanding the band of supernatural henchmen he's proffered, Ruby embarks to capture the magic of an ancient African gem. While endeavoring to regain her powers, Ruby must also contend with the daily business of Goblin Records, her romantic designs on her billionaire neighbor, and the unwanted attention of the newly elected U.S. president. The return of her power and a relationship with the city's most prominent citizen would give Ruby all she ever desired. But magic comes with a price, politics are a dirty business-doubly so when a trickster god gets involved-and Loki is never on anyone's side but his own.
