Academy City's peacekeeping
forces are absent due to the Avignon invasion. In that now lawless land, shadowy
groups start moving behind the
scenes.
--Those acting
for their own
interests.
--Those who
love the dark and revel in
killing.
--Those
trying to destroy others'
hope.
--Those standing
up in defiance for those important to
them.
--Those bringing
the battle to the higher
echelons.
--Those
quelling rebellious
elements.
--Those who
would stop a rampage with
violence.
In this
city, which controls all of science, who will survive?
