When the Order of the Avenging Star is brought down in a devastating assault by its longtime enemies, Gavner, Donato, and Darselz suddenly find themselves in a world newly hostile to them. In order to ensure the survival of the human race, they must navigate a continent covered by their enemies, all while surviving the ghosts of the Order's past - but will they learn from the mistakes of their forebears, or doom humanity to extinction?

The Order of the Avenging Star has long stood vigil against the threat of the Apokros, creatures of varying sizes and powers that are told to seek the end of humanity. Were it not for the Order, the humans would long ago have been nothing more than fertilizer for the life of this world. Donato, Darselz, and Gavner never imagined they would see the day the Order fell. Now, along with the remnants of the Order, they must struggle to survive in a world now hostile to them, discovering more about the disparate arms and darker secrets of their esteemed organization as they persevere. They must struggle to come to terms the reality of their world and the ghosts of the Order's past, but, now hunted and hounded, can they also survive the threats of their present?
