The last battle did not pass without a trace for anyone. Flint is angry at the world, Jackson is turning into something barely recognizable, and Hudson has built walls around himself that I'm unlikely to be able to break. War is coming, and we are not ready for it. Only the presence of an army can give at least some hope of victory. But first of all, I need to deal with my past.

I must find answers that will help determine which of us is the real monster. Find the true monster in a world filled with bloodthirsty vampires, immortal gargoyles and the never-ending feud of the gods. There is no guarantee that anyone will survive, but if we want to save this world, I have no choice. I will have to accept every part of myself... even the part I fear the most.
