Piper is confused. Seiya and Lir are missing, Ash is recovering from terrible wounds, and the Gaians are fighting demons throughout the city. She doesn’t know how she’ll cope with everything at once. Just as she’s about to find out where the Gayans got their new weapons, an old enemy attacks her: Samael’s subordinate, Raum. He demands Ash's help and is not going to back down. She doesn't know if she can trust Raum, but she can't trust herself with Ash either. Sooner or later he will find her, and she is afraid that she will not be able to leave him a second time. Despite her feelings, Piper needs all her strength to cope with the frightening discovery about the Gayans. The daemon war is coming, and they may be the ones who can stop it... if it's not too late.
