On the run, with no backup or resources, he still has a mission, albeit a cryptic one, issued by his angelic patron. But his old Division M coworkers aren’t the only threat. Renaissance Gitano—an elite operative from a secretive order of magicians Paxton has faced before—also hunts him. She will go to the ends of any Earth to bring him to justice and satisfy her own need for revenge.

At the same time, the storm surge reawakens VL-15. It once again goes on a journey to find the truth of its existence, all while memories haunt it. Will the truth come from the Machine City where it was made, or within its own mind?
