On Earth, Allen's joy at marrying Liz is stripped away when he and his new wife must flee a sudden quarantine order by President Silverton. Its target? All those on the planet with illuminas. Should he accept the dangers Gil said lurked behind the glass and try to make a connection across worlds to Tarin? Or should he try to find Gil, who's disappeared for some "other" more important mission?

As the darkness expands over both worlds and the iron grip of the Trinity Lattice tightens, Tarin and Allen must race to decipher the mystery of the illuminas. If they fail, the prophecy claiming who they are — what they are — may have been only a powerful lie told by the Great Enemy itself as it seeks to conquer all.

The vast plains of South Dakota offer Tarin solace from both his dreams of an unknown past and the rumblings of a new global war while a mysterious AI oversees society.

Is this man there to cause trouble like the other newcomers—those who claim to be part of a government organization observing a new illness in the area? And how does this man know Tarin when Tarin has no recollection of him?

As the threat of war draws closer and strange sightings appear in the sky, Tarin begins to discover that all on the planet is not what it seems. What have his dreams been telling him? Is there more to the universe—to reality—than he could have ever imagined?
