In a tragic outburst of grief and rage, Jinx accidentally kills her adoptive father, Silco, and unleashes a Hextech missile aimed at Piltover's Council. The missile misfires, triggering a rare Hextech/Slipspace rift that transports Jinx, Vi, Caitlyn, and Silco's body to Installation 04, the ringworld from Halo: Combat Evolved, during the events of the game. Stranded in a war-torn alien landscape, the trio must navigate the conflict between the UNSC, Covenant, and the deadly Flood while grappling with their fractured relationships and the mystery of their arrival. Jinx, driven by guilt and the ring's seductive promise of power, becomes entangled with 343 Guilty Spark, who sees her Hextech as a key to activating the ring's catastrophic potential. Vi and Caitlyn fight to keep Jinx grounded, uncovering a connection between Hextech and Forerunner technology that could lead them home-but at a cost. As the ring's dangers escalate, Jinx's desperation to resurrect Silco threatens to destroy everything, forcing a reckoning with her past and her sister's love. Their journey culminates in a desperate escape through a collapsing vortex, returning them to a Zaun altered by the ring's lingering energy. In the aftermath, Jinx takes tentative steps toward healing, but the echoes of Installation 04 remain, hinting at new threats in their fractured home.
This crossover novel blends the emotional intensity of Arcane with the high-stakes action of Halo: Combat Evolved, exploring themes of grief, redemption, and the consequences of unchecked power in an isekai framework.
