In this action-packed sequel, the Phoenix—superior, humanoid beings without need for food, water, or reproduction—have left the HRC, Human Resistance Corp, a group of militants who've taken a stand for peace, demoralized following their battle. New hope flickers when Rebel Phoenix, Tirzah, informs the HRC about a base that houses her counterparts. Shanna Cooper, HRC general, is reluctant to trust Tirzah after witnessing her allow the only known, and greatest threat to the Phoenix, Wraith to vanish beyond a void and out of the realm of the living.
Cylus, now in, Sheol—the realm of the dead—after overcoming an enormous challenge, must conjure forth even greater courage than before. A horrid, grotesque monstrosity has emerged, setting its sight on him and those alongside him. Tempest (a living thunderstorm and Cylus's ally), Elder Arcane (one of Sheol's most corrupt, powerful beings), and Chaos (Elder Arcane's elite guardian) must set aside their differences and unite against this new threat. Will Cylus find his courage and survive? Insurrection boils in the parallel worlds!
