Adams among the multiplied generations.
Helen Spalding

They are the Prime, but in order to achieve their fate, they must be together.

The Truce between Dealer and cyborgs is over. A new Chaos threatens. And Grace and Millay are the deciding factor.

But first, they must figure out: what is the truth?
