Description
Arthrogonian Paragon Alexis Marnozal has finally found a little slice of heaven. Her mother's plan worked perfectly, and the arthrogon race was saved. Now Alexis can live a normal life at last. At least, that's what she'd hoped. The reality is not so simple. Safe Haven is no 5-star getaway, and things only seem to be getting worse. Xirxine is under pressure to provide protection to the citizens, and in order to do so, they've decided to create teams compiled of the most powerful members of Safe Haven's society. Unfortunately for Alexis, she's on their candidate shortlist. Faced with the option of whether to live a life of peace and freedom from responsibility versus stepping fully into the world of war, Alexis must make a choice: reject or protect? On the other side of the coin... Xirxine International S.A.F.E. Subject V-111 (codenamed "Veronika") has fit perfectly with the Saved's offensive scheme. Her first Purge was carried out without a hitch, and she has already made a name for herself among the other Crusaders as the awe-inspiring "Devourer". However, her next assignment will prove far more difficult than the last. Her target is a member of Cthulhu's Faithful: the one called "Syha'h", once known as the infamous "Queen of Crime". And as if this weren't challenging enough, Xirxine has added Veronika to their "Most Wanted" watchlist and dispatched their newest Protector Force team to apprehend her. In order to fulfill the will of the Guiding Light, Veronika must overcome the greatest adversity she's ever faced. Two Sisters of two Worthy have been set on a collision course... and such a collision is bound to yield spectacular results.
