The Anointed have been fractured. After the battle of Hyde Pier, Demarcus, Lily, and Harry are wounded and demoralized - while Sarah Jane is missing and they fear the worst about their mentor John. The Archai have unleashed an ancient evil spreading rage across San Francisco, an evil that can even ensnare superpowered teens. The Anointed must race against time to find Sarah Jane and confront the darkness engulfing the city. But first they must harness the power of forgiveness to heal the fractures in their lives. If they can learn to use their gifts unified, they may have a chance. And help may arise from an unsuspecting corner, if they can survive the corruption of the shadows.
