Though the Green has been temporarily pushed back, Reyes and Thanata face a new challenge in a deadly strain of coral biota that has spread over the region. It taints the planet’s rainfall, rivers, lakes - and all the wildlife that depends on them. But there is a swarm-like signal inherent in the coral, which originates deep within Phoa’s biomorphic sea.

With Phoa stabilized against the Green and Tiamat’s coral, Reyes and Thanata have inspired people to work together against the swarms.

Soon, meteors land in every settled region and transform into swarms that devour everything around them - all while a huge, ringed structure hovers in the sky.

But if the unlikely pair hopes to survive the mutated wilds and the deadly Green, they'll have to learn to understand each other.
