While diplomatic efforts are being made between the vampires and the Preservers, the Valdren launch a full-scale invasion on the human capital city of Arkaine. The Valdren, now driven by the chaotic influence of the Void, are unpredictable, attacking with savage, reckless power. The Valdren leaders, once cunning and strategic, now seem possessed, driven by whispers from the Void that promise them ultimate power.

Lysander, Kira, and their forces rush to Arkaine to aid the humans, but the situation is dire. The Valdren have unleashed corrupted beasts—creatures born from the fusion of Void magic and blood magic—that tear through the city's defenses.

Amidst the chaos, Kira leads an elite squad into the heart of the Valdren army, aiming to assassinate their warlord and break their ranks. She confronts Vorkath, the Valdren general, who reveals that the Valdren have been promised something greater than victory—they have been promised godhood by a mysterious force within the Void.

In a brutal, climactic battle, Kira defeats Vorkath, but not before he hints that the true power behind the Valdren is something far older than even the Void itself. The Valdren retreat, but not before leaving Arkaine in ruins.
