Two years ago, the InVaders, aliens who arrived in fourteen ships, seeded the atmosphere with a virus known as Double V, which killed 99.9% of the global population within days. But the virus had an unintended side effect. While only one in every thousand people proved immune to the virus, one in a million fell ill but survived, and woke from their fever able to do magic. The most powerful of these is John Callum, a Warlock who lost his wife and daughter to the InVader Virus, and who has vowed to use his magic to make the aliens pay for what they took from him.

The Warlock John Callum has continued to grow in his power, learning from other mages at The Rock as enemies from without and within work to finish what the InVader Virus started—the extinction of the human race. Now joined by their new allies, the Te’pohl’t, the human Resistance fights to turn the tide of a struggle in which they are still winning battles, but losing the war.
