Publisher's Synopsis
Book II continues Alyssalee's story, once an orphan, is taken under the wing of her new paramilitary family--the Undivine. Maybe it was the draw of being a part of something meaningful, or the pull of her Undivine girlfriend, Sophie, but she was all-in on their mission. Hand in hand, Alyssalee and Sophie face the next chapter of the fleshmonger plague that threatens the Solar Unity. On the one hand, there's Alyssalee, reckless and unsure of her powerful mind-hacking abilities. And on the other, there's Sophie's steadfast love, keeping Alyssalee grounded. Together, they're a force that transcends the notion that love never dies,
Book II unfolds as the fleshmongers deepen their infiltration, developing new technologies to possess the innocent and thwart UNUM's heavy-handed, theocratic rule. The Undivine's mission to rescue those persecuted under UNUM, is now eclipsed by the battle to save the people's mortal souls from the depravity of the fleshmongers and the mysterious boss that leads them from the shadows.
What started in the immersive game world of Sword of Sanctity as a means to possess players has bled into the real world. Alyssalee, Sophie, Commander Cole, and the Undivine's Chief Nerd, Bits, return to the game to save lives and get answers. But it's not just the laity that's in harm's way. The boss wants the Undivine eradicated. And now, the dark being's lust for absolute power leads him to set his sights on Alyssalee.
All that Alyssalee knew of what it is to live, to die, to love, is shattered. Confronted by unfathomable supernatural forces, impossible decisions must be made, But how far will Alyssalee go to protect the ones she loves?
