What if you were imprisoned for all eternity? In the aftermath of the Ritual of Night, everything has changed. The wizard Relos Var and the powerful demon Xaltorath are both moving forward with their plans to free and control the King of Demons so they can take over the world. Kihrin has his own ideas about how to achieve victory, but for the friends, enemies, and lovers who have been unwillingly gathered together to help him, the cost may prove far too dear. Stopping their enemies from freeing Vol Karoth is looking less and less possible. Because - thanks to Kihrin - they're now trapped in the same prison as the King of Demons himself.

"The house of always" is the fourth book in the series A Chorus of Dragons.
