There's a killer loose in New York City's underground, and his bloody revenge has already begun.
His sights are set on Dell Ramone, leader of House Dionysus, who's forced to fall back into the shadows as the body count rises -- and emerge as someone else. Someone who'll do anything to stop him.
Meanwhile, a new threat from Japan arrives at House Pandora, where Jenner is fighting for his life. And the members of House Phoenix are caught in a deadly power struggle that threatens to tear through the organization, destroying everything in its wake.
