Liv feels as if her problems are pulling her apart. Her new transformation has left her with powers she doesn't want. Jared has decided to stay in Ellengale, but has started to get annoyingly possessive of her. Luke is still vanishing into Shadeland, and his trips are getting longer. There are more attacks in town, and Liv's older brother Neeson seems to be involved.
Desperate for help, Liv contacts the only person she thinks will help her; and Agent Tang comes running. But when they discover that the deaths are actually casualties of a war they need to find out whose war it is, and Liv hopes Neeson isn't part of it. Because if he is, SILC will have a new target to make disappear.
