Three months following the death of his little brother, Alex, Daniel Chase finds himself in the middle of an age old war between Arcana Imperii, which seeks to save the world, and Ad Victoriam, which seeks to destroy it. Daniel must decide what part he will play, which side he will choose, whether or not to sacrifice the desires of his darkening heart for the greater good, or succumb to his selfishness and in doing so corrupt himself with the tainted spoils of war.
