Nearly a year has passed since the evil creatures known as Shadowmists reappeared and attacked the city of Var, and Shenji's involvement was revealed to the world. Tolar, Vice Secretary of the proud nation of Ventra, has begun a campaign to tear down the Geni and remove them from power. Although the truth should be on their side, fear has driven public opinion of the Geni down a dark path, and even Jenia worries it may mean the end of the Geni Order itself. Sarah, Seven months into her training, is beginning to have doubts about the Order's future, as well as her own as the Shadowmists continue to attack cities at random, wiping out whole populations. As the Geni's attention is divided between their own future, and dealing with the Shadowmists, a new evil has emerged, and their connection with the Shadowmists, as well as their ancient origins could spell disaster for the entire world.
