The map shows cities that never existed and reveals connections to her father's disappearance thirteen years earlier. Alongside Erik, a pilot haunted by prophetic dreams, and the enigmatic Velinova, who claims the map led her to Lena, she uncovers a millennia-old conflict between the map's original creators and the "Custodians" who seek to control its power. In the final chapter, Lena and her small team brave a manufactured storm to reach the underground city once more. There, she connects with her father's consciousness, learning he chose to merge with the map network. Facing an imminent attack by the Custodians, Lena must decide whether to activate the Antarctic node and begin humanity's gradual awakening to expanded consciousness, or flee and maintain the world as it is.
