The cost of peace is weighed in flesh & bone... For millennia the Argent War has been waged covertly beneath the notice of humanity. The war began after the Nocturne leaders ensnared the father of the Neuri, King Lycaon, and murdered him in cold blood. Now the end of the war is within reach. After centuries of defeat Issac Constantine rose to power adding magic's and modern tactics to their arsenal, leading the Neuri and Aniwaya to their first victory in living memory. After the decisive Battle of Boston, in a shocking turn of events Issac spared his enemy and offered a truce to the Nocturne. The truce has persisted fifty years, giving hope around the world that there can be peace again. The delegates are finally ready to commit to lasting peace but an insidious conspiracy clashes against them, determined to plunge their world back into eternal conflict. The hope for peace has fallen serendipitously to unlikely heroes - Mika, an outcast Aniwaya driven to find answers in the wake of a personal tragedy and Samuel, a Nocturne Duke who finds the conspiracy entwined dangerously with his own mysterious origins.
