Several years after the peace achieved in Ticonic, civilization has advanced, and technology has flourished. However, behind this prosperity, a new threat emerges from within—an enigmatic group named Varnaxis is after the bloodline of the original Terra inhabitants to resurrect ancient, destructive weapons from the age of darkness.
Kael, who remains youthful and charismatic as if he's still 17, is called back to the battlefield. What begins as a peaceful festival soon turns into a massacre as thousands of innocent lives are lost in a surprise attack. The heart of Ticonic is decimated, and Kael comes dangerously close to losing Dominus during the onslaught.
Teresa, who had long returned to Earth, arrives in Ticonic after hearing the devastating news. Now an expert military scientist, she brings crucial information about the origins of Varnaxis—revealing that they are the result of a dark, abandoned Earth colony's experiments.
Together with Parker, Mira, Terren, Darren, Arek, and Tama, Kael must once again lead the rebellion. Yet, old wounds, unresolved love, and unexpected betrayals shadow their journey. As Teresa and Kael rekindle their bond, they must face the dilemma of past love and the responsibility of saving the future of the world.
Ticonic bleeds again.
And this time, not everyone will survive.
