Teetering on the brink of destruction, Sanctuary finds hope in tech-savvy Ben Parker, a young rising star in Sigil's new order. his newest project may just be the key to their salvation. But the instability and danger of his experiment raises heavy questions. While Edwin and the rest of the Council are troubled by the moral implications of using such powers, those more willing to do whatever it takes demand he step aside. Right and wrong no longer hold any meaning... friend and foe have become indistinguishable... And those meant to protect society are more concerned about protecting themselves. Whoever manages to rise to the top will wield not only the authority to decide the fate of the city, but of all life on Earth. It is no longer a question of defending themselves. It has come down to one simple choice-who lives… and who dies.
