In the wake of The War Against The Enemy, a new generation of leadership has risen, promising to lead The Interstellar Web into a new era of peace and prosperity. At the crest of this of this new wave of robber barons are the Abernathés of Lethe. All that stands in the way of the ascension of Lorenzo III is the enigmatic Mr. Ecks, and the secret of the diamonds that bear his name. Or so he thought until his father is seduced by the idea of immortality, an idea which begets a crèche of monsters born of a blasphemous science, vile creatures that soon escape his control.
Far away from Lethe lived Pierce Sicuro, an ordinary boy living an ordinary life in the suburbs of Ven Ashram. Without warning, Pierce is imprisoned by the Abernathés for no obvious reason, and then given up for dead. Not only does Pierce survive his captivity, but he escapes and takes with him the secret of the mysterious Ecks Stones. Now armed with knowledge and wealth, he seeks a vicious revenge upon his tormentors...and an entire way of life.
