Seven years have passed since the end. Lei Jin, carrying the key to the unexploded nuclear bomb, and the silent genetic expert Su Yuan are searching for the last fire in the wasteland. The Iron Maw covets her flesh and blood, Shadow Weaver secretly lays out an intelligence network, the sound of the mute clock draws the line between destruction and rebirth, and the White Crow's teachings are forging hope into shackles. When the first smoke rises from the stronghold, the real war has just begun - not for survival, but for who deserves to rebuild civilization.
