Plagued by constant nightmares about the Alliance discovering Talamoth, Dorian struggles adjusting to life in the new Gilweather and Erroside’s rebuilding of its society under new leadership. When an Errosidian teen is abducted during a secret energy transport from Talamoth to Crygan, Dorian learns from Dr. Locke that the boy is one of many mysteriously missing teens from around the universe. But that’s not the only thing missing…

 

While purging old military projects, Arrgus discovers missing vials of Dorian’s blood from experiments done on him during his time in the Errosidian arena. When an Errosidian mother makes Dorian promise to bring her son back, Dorian launches into an investigation that leads him into a web of lies and secrets bigger than he could have ever imagined. He’ll discover that the missing teens are only one piece in a sinister puzzle that will once again rest the entire universe on his shoulders.

 

To infiltrate the plot, Dorian will have to pose as an average fighter in the underworld of the Nebuscena, a traveling arena, the location of which is known only to lowlifes, criminals, and the universe’s most powerful and dangerous people.
