The world is reeling after the carnage in Africa. The forces of earth with the Source weapons created by Colin's company stood with the Soulguard and claimed victory. Now, the aftermath will be left to deal with, and Colin's secret about his DNA is out. Rumors of another clan are already circulating, and it will be a race to prepare for a fourth wave of Kresh to come after our world. Can the Soulguard and the myriad armies of our planet stop one of the Elder Kresh and his massive army?

After Second Kansas the world waits for the other shoe to drop. The Kresh have come twice and been held off by Colin Rourke and the Soulguard. Defenses are growing, and the forces of Earth are arming themselves for war. Colin is trying to come to terms with the darkness inside of him with the help of Lyrica Jayne. But that darkness may be just what the world needs when millions of Kresh pour through another Great Gate.

With everything out in the open, it is time to prepare the world for the war that is coming. Colin Rourke and his forces must be ready to meet the Kresh when they return. Colin must also face the changes in himself from the Kresh DNA in his own body. Can they prepare in time, or will the demons ravage our world?

Colin Rourke has lived his entire life knowing he has been hunted by creatures from a world connected to ours by portals. Raised by two Soulguards and gifted with abilities far beyond any known to them, he is trained from the moment he can walk to fight these beings. Now he is almost old enough to join the Soulguard and take his place as a defender of humanity in a secret war that has been fought in the shadows for over a thousand years.

The last thing Rictor Hughes expected when he chose to give his life in Kansas to save others was to wake up.
