Welcome to the Vilokan Asylum of the Magically and Mentally Deranged. I'm Doctor Cain. I'll be supervising your treatment plan. Yes, before you ask, I am that Cain. I've come a long way since I became the world's first murderer.

The enemy has learned how to replicate in the nanoverse. His plan remains the same; to usher in the next chapter of human evolution and to convert all of humanity into a digital species, inhabiting a digital world. The government has fallen. The resistance is in turmoil. If I'm going to save humanity I have no choice but to destroy the nanoverse.

I'm losing myself in the nanoverse...am I even human anymore? So many connections...so many people...but where am I? The enemy is still out there, somewhere in the nanoverse, trying to absorb humanity into his new digital world. Whole worlds after the design of any host who has been assimilated into the nanoverse, constructed from the memories of those who have been integrated. There is an appeal to it all...do I even want to destroy it anymore? Have I been fighting on the wrong side of this war from the start?

I'm not just fighting for myself. I'm fighting for my family. Mother Shipton has taken my sister, Loralei. Elemental vampires are terrorizing the city. How can you kill vampires who can't be staked? Every time I take one down, it returns to the river and reemerges the following night. I need to find Nimue. She's a fairy who alone holds the power that might allow me to free Loralei. Without her, I won't stand a chance against Shipton and the Elemental Vampires. But how does one find a fairy who doesn't want to be found? Will she even help me if I do?

A strange woman has risen from the lake. There's something familiar about her. Is she a friend, or a foe? How the hell did she end up in the Lake of the Ozarks, anyway? There's a dark warlock on the loose. The Grand Coven has shown up to stop him. Among them, the witches who killed my parents. Is there a connection between the Grand Coven, my parent's death, and this strange lady of the lake?

The enemy is building an army of Axis mages. It's the Arcane War-Part Deux. There's just one problem—the enemy warded Berlin against our magic. Only a small group of us can cast there. Can we stop the next world-ending war before it begins? Why is my gut telling me we're walking into a trap? Trap or not. We have no choice. Once the enemy gets a foothold, we won't have the numbers to stop her. What is her end game, exactly? We're probably outnumbered. We're certainly out skilled. What the enemy doesn't realize is this: as a father of three, I'm always outnumbered.

It's hard to make any progress when she can raise the dead to fight at her side. She isn't raising random corpses. She's bringing back some of the most powerful Axis mages who died during the Arcane Wars. She's always one step ahead. What is she planning?
