Captured by the Giovanni army, Alex and Ira, the Midnight Children, are trapped within the walls of the Hall of Vampires.

Suffering from the scars of the Ar Novad's tragedy, Alex has all but given up. However, when the Giovanni Authorities deal the Midnight Children's death sentence, Alex and Ira are forced to fight for their lives.

With the First closing in, the Authorities on their backs and Argon testing Alex's resolve, Alex, Ira, and their reluctant allies are thrust towards inevitable war.

The First must be stopped. The Authorities must be put to justice. Power must be taken from the Giovanni Authorities' bloody hands. Bodmin must be reclaimed at any cost.

However, Alex and Argon's unbreakable bond threatens everything the allies have fought for. With fractured loyalties and trust in Alex put to the test, it seems this is more than inevitable war but a march towards inevitable death.
