After Reunion's destruction of Chernobog left it a wasteland of ruin and sorrow, the fight against nations that discriminate against Oripathy victims begins. Chief Ch'en heads the Lungmen Guard Department's Special Inspection Unit, gathering her team to protect Lungmen, a wealthy but unforgiving city known for its harsh treatment of the infected. Meanwhile, Amiya, the Doctor, and the medical organization Rhodes Island battle Reunion on multiple fronts. Their path crosses with FrostNova, a high-ranking Reunion member whose freezing powers threaten all who oppose her.

In this installment

As threats from Ursus and Reunion intensify, Ch'en, the steadfast defender of Lungmen, breaks her promise to the city's Chief Executive, Wei Yenwu, confessing that she is Infected and the sister of Talulah, the enigmatic leader of Reunion. Forced to flee Lungmen under an arrest warrant, Ch'en sets out to confront Reunion, believing she alone can deliver justice to her sibling. Meanwhile, Rhodes Island steps in to prevent catastrophe, with Doctor, Amiya, Kal'tsit, and their team striving to manage the crisis, hoping that a spark of justice will help Lungmen rise from its ashes.
