The first clue comes when the police discover a warning in the victim's own blood, written in the language of genetics. Someone is out to destroy GeneCrime, even if it means killing them one by one. Another team member is taken, horrifically tortured and sadistically murdered. Reuben is desperate to find and stop the killer. But as his own investigations gather steam, he finds his career attacked. Reuben used his own most advanced scientific discovery for a very personal reason and rivals in the police use this to remove him from command. Suddenly he is on the outside of GeneCrime, cut off from their resources and power. Reuben, ostracized and under suspicion, knows that he must fight this battle alone. The killing has not stopped, and the one thing that is beyond question is that he is the killer's next target.

      Nella terra di Maras-Dantia la guerra tra umani e razze antiche sembra non conoscere sosta e i figli del Lupo sono nell'occhio del ciclone. Soli, braccati, bollati dall'infamante accusa di diserzione, vagano per le regioni che gli umani chiamano Centrasia alla ricerca di risposte a interrogativi sempre più pressanti: cosa sono in realtà i manufatti chiamati stelle? Qual è il loro effettivo potere? Perché l'ambizione di possederli ossessiona Jennesta, la spietata regina dell'Orda, così come Kimball Hobrow, capo della fanatica setta degli Uni? E ancora: quale significato attribuire ai sogni di cui è preda il capitano degli orchi Strike? Sono forse profezie? La speranza di un mondo in cui la magia occupi il posto che le compete nell'ordine naturale, un mondo nel quale le razze antiche possano finalmente convivere in pace, libere dalla pestilenziale minaccia dell'uomo, potrà realizzarsi solo dopo aver superato nemici letali e situazioni ai limiti dell'impossibile, in un crescendo di eventi che scateneranno forze oscure, terrificanti incantesimi e arcane potenze da troppo tempo sopite. Prima, però, gli orchi dovranno confrontarsi con le proprie ataviche paure, per porre fine a un'esistenza da mercenari e tornare a essere ciò che sempre sono stati: un popolo fiero, un popolo di guerrieri.
