The war has ended, but its ghosts refuse to rest.

Ethan returns home to Lybrook with the body of his fallen brother, Daniel, and the unbearable weight of guilt. His family’s grief is soon shattered when the Crimson Corsairs strike, igniting new flames of violence in a world already scarred by loss.

As Seraphine’s leadership fractures and Viggo’s ambition turns deadly, the fragile peace crumbles once again. Abby struggles to protect what remains of hope, while Ethan is forced to confront who he has become.

Far from Lybrook, in the cold light of a secret laboratory, Maya and Malik hover between life and death as their Guardian implants are removed—unaware that the fate of Paraxis still beats within them.
