THE PIECES ARE SCATTERED. A NEW NIGHTMARE DAWNS. THE END IS COMING. With the aid of Kyro, a smart-mouthed street hustler, and Redd, a cunning investigator at war with her conscience, Joel and Aimee Phoenix follow a lead to Salvation Asylum, where they hope to find their daughter alive. But Emery and Adam have already fled from captivity into even more chaos and confusion. Danger haunts every action and darkness seeks to claim her protector's life as a result of using too much of his power too soon. Adam's soul now hangs between life and death, yet Emery can't help dwelling on the boy who once tempted fire and her love. From inside his coma, Arson roams the fiery halls of past nightmares, looking for the code of escape. But when a stranger slides into his subconscious, promising new abilities and a way out, part of him is ready to accept the revelation and be free, and part of him questions the ghost's true intentions. Divided and fearful, Arson's mind is now a deadly game of wills. There's no telling what will become of the outside world. Arson's only choice is to enlist every power within and arise from the ashes of who he used to be. THE WAR HAS BEGUN. IT'S TIME TO WAKE UP AND FIGHT.
