The war begins with the drop of bombs—chaos rains over the Titan Mountains of Victashia with Kaiga’s impending invasion. Alex stands wary at the helm, feeling battle-hardened and prepared for the coming blood of war; he steels himself for its descent. He thinks of Aaron, his lost comrade, and the many souls lost in the Battle of Mema and the Corpus Massacre. Above all, the Federation of Kaiga wants revenge. In its deliverance, the country sees its vessel in Alex.
The Third Paragon himself has his sights set on Melissa and is weighed with the order to fulfill his role as her executioner if he can even find her. The road ahead is fraught with bodies, while Melissa’s exact location in Victashia remains unknown.
