On Penthos, a discovery on the ship creates chaos and causes Maxim to reach out to Avery for help, hoping he can rely on the knowledge of the human pilot to keep everyone safe.

For years, Aegeus has been legend on Uoria. His death in battle has become lore, overshadowed only by the discovery that he didn't die when he walked into that fateful battle, the clash that brought what many thought was peace to Uoria. All those years Aegeus spent in the clutches of Ryan, witness to the cruelty and madness that drove the scientist. He watched and he waited, knowing that one day he would have his chance again. Aegeus tells his story the way that only he can, through the memories that he struggles to retain.

Feeling the effects of the decision that he made to leave the Order, Malcolm is trying to get accustomed to being away from the hierarchy and in the home of the beautiful but strange woman that Athan chose. The tension between them is obvious, but he has no choice but to accept the shelter that she has offered or face the danger posed by an angered and betrayed Order. Neither fully trusts the other and both must learn to either compromise and embrace the feelings that are growing between them, or put everything that they all have been working for at risk.

Deep in the Order's lair, Ellora has found herself in the hands of a strange man who tells her that he knows something from her past. Though he can't tell her who he is or why he is there, she feels that he is the only one who can give her a chance to get out of the tunnels. She knows that she has to trust him, even if that means not knowing what he is carrying in an old cloth bag or why he insists that the future of the universe rests on him protecting it.

It is the night before Rey, and the group of humans and warriors will return to the settlement to free the Mikana, and just days before, the others will climb aboard the shuttles headed for Earth so that they can celebrate Samira and Ty's long-awaited wedding. Everyone is coming down from the adrenaline of the last few days and trying to decide what they should do.

On both Uoria and Earth, the groups are in turmoil. Maxim, Kyven, and the others travel to the compound to consult Creia about the Order, only to find that he has left. On the settlement, Rain is determined to understand more of what happened leading up to the crash and has brought Lynx back to the crash wreckage in hopes of finding a box that may contain this information. On Earth, Eden can't get the image of the strange picture out of her mind. She knows that it means something, but she can't decide what.

Suddenly surrounded by the fearsome-looking Covra, Lynx can only think of protecting Rain. Still trying to process that this beautiful woman is human, the warrior only cares that she is intended to be his mate, and fights off the spider-like creatures coming into the room, but soon falls victim to their horrifying form of warfare. Bannack and Pyra must race to find Ciyrs and heal Lynx before he is lost to the Covra. Back at the Denynso compound, the women are struggling to deal with their emotions of having their mates so far away.

Zsilvia is still struggling with her feelings for George, as tortured memories of her past keep her from accepting that he is her intended mate and allowing herself to give in to his attention. Instead, she has separated herself from him and spends her time observing his efforts with the rest of the women to find a solution to the locked people in the settlement.

Still reeling from the discovery of the weapons that his father hoarded and the revelation that he had been carrying his grandfather's beloved sword into battle when he died and that sword has never been found, Maxim confronts his mother again. Ellora continues to resist her son's pleas for more information, and Athan finally convinces him that they must go on without her. Something has occurred to him that has begun to change his understanding of the night that Aegeus died, and he knows that they need to act quickly.

Rain, Kyven, and those of the crew that stayed aboard the ship have arrived back on Uoria and must start gathering the army and the weapons that Maxim and the others need on Penthos, but not everyone is happy at their return, or at their intention to leave again to continue the war. On Earth Jonah continues to uncover more in the files and begins to wonder if there is more to the aged hospital than they thought, leading him to head back into the laboratory building without the benefit of the rest of the group.

On Uoria, Ellora, Athan, and Mhavrych make their way back to the Mikana kingdom using a mysterious form of travel that Mhavrych won't explain but that seems to have the power to bring them far distances in mere moments. Once they've arrived, they confront Creia and Rey with what is happening, and all must decide whether they should hurry back to Penthos as fast as possible or if they should remain on Uoria longer to better prepare.

When Aubrey comes home with a story from work about a colleague who once explored a factory owned by the Orion Corporation and discovered strange rooms and other odd happenings, Jonah knows that he has to keep digging. A return to the medical ward reveals something that turns everything that he thought he knew upside down, and he and Aubrey must decide what is the most important and what they should do next.

Still reeling from everything that they have learned, the Denynso, their mates, and their visitors continue to cope with the new information as they prepare for their separate journeys. As Pyra tries to convince Eden that she and the new baby should remain on Uoria rather than traveling to Earth and Gyyx tries to convince Creia that he should join his people as they travel for the wedding, Ero and Creia struggle with internal forces that make both question who they are and how they will move forward.
