Having barely escaped the clutches of Titan during ODIN's illfated assault, Janus now finds himself embroiled in an everdeepening mystery, with only the scant clues recovered from the ruins of Phoenix to guide him. As ODIN struggles to recover from its losses, Janus and his team are tasked with delving into the dark. Why was ODIN lured into a trap? And what does Overlord Middleton have to do with it? Janus is about to discover that the Corporate world order he thought he knew is a lie, and that ODIN's and his own place in that structure is even more significant than he could have ever imagined. But with new threats on the horizon, can Janus keep his newfound family, and the one he left behind in Cerberus, safe?
