A new generation of state trained Symbiolics has begun. Three great protectors of Zion, Percy, Kurt and Bron seek apprentices. The water ninja: Gren. The dragon shieldmaiden: Komo. The archer pixie: Ellia. And the fiery witch: Delle. These four teens trained with their mentors but could not have foreseen the events that shook their world. With the help of a vengeful sniper, Victor, the Black Nest gang broke out a terrible warlord. Komo's father, Jang, nearly wiped out all of his opponents with his nigh unstoppable power. However, the bond that Gren and Komo shared triumphed in the end, but at what cost. A strange curse afflicts Delle's hand; Victor's fate remains unknown. Worse yet, Percy had vanished, only to appear in Governor Fryste's hidden lair below the city and cut off Jang's head.
