Synopsis
Victory was supposed to mean peace. After defeating the Archon and returning from certain death, Jack Schafer should finally be able to rest beside the woman he loves. Instead, he discovers a cruel bargain already in motion. An ancient machine intelligence is consuming Dr. Manheim from the inside, and the only way to save him may be to restore a weapon capable of erasing entire civilizations. Desperate for another path, Jack leads a perilous journey into High Shahin, a mountain citadel where silent wings rule the sky and prisoners are never meant to leave. What he finds there will change everything—not just for Manheim, but for the future of Dravos itself. Because some evils don't die. They wait. And when they rise again, they demand a higher price than anyone is ready to pay.
