His enemies have just discovered a new source of power--one that makes a mockery of anything faced to date. Now the war is on and it's up to Dev and Samia to guard ground zero. But in order to win, they will have to break the most cardinal of all rules--and pray it doesn't unravel the universe as we know it...
