One year later, peace seems to prosper, but the consequences are worse than Talon ever imagined. December, 2493 New York City is flourishing. With the government reformed and the class system demolished, the citizens are thriving. All seems well. Talon Chambers has been living in Yahn with Castor and Amber, adjusting to the quiet life they've attained. He's glad to leave behind everything that happened in New York, glad to start a new life, glad he can finally attempt to live up to all his father hoped for. However, everything changes when Talon and Castor are attacked by a masked figure whose identity remains a terrifying mystery. Talon ties the horrific incident back to their excursions in New York. Why else would it have happened? But, with the emergence of a hidden society and someone long thought dead, he realizes New York had nothing to do with the attack. Something much more sinister is festering in the shadows. As suspicion of unrest within The Empire of Danyor begins to circulate, Talon realizes that he, Castor, and Amber are part of something bigger than they could've imagined. He just doesn't know what it is. But one thing is abundantly clear. He will have to confront their attacker; a faceless assassin known only as the Magistrate.
