A devastating new plan unfolds as Lucius battles an untouchable enemy. Sinister mind games threaten the soldier's success. He hopes that he can rid Josephine's house of his worst adversary yet-the new guy. In an effort to contribute to society, Josephine sublets a room in her house to a seemingly harmless individual. The man claims to have been through catastrophic woes in life and reaches out for help one last time. Josephine gets lassoed into helping him and pulled directly into the path of disaster. Behind closed doors, the new tenant-Drake-is not what he appears. Lucius is forced to watch Josephine endure trials as she hovers just beyond his protection. She's borders the realm of his authority and permission. He has ways of balancing the scales, but beyond every hurdle there's a new and more challenging obstacle. As Lucius comes face-to-face with Drake, rules might be bent and laws might be broken...

hindi inakala ni Lira Santiago, isang tahimik pero matalinong history scholar, na isang gabi sa National Library ay babago sa buong buhay niya. Habang nagdi-digitize ng mga lumang dokumento, napadpad siya sa isang restricted archive room at doon niya natagpuan ang isang nasunog na journal mula 1898 na hindi dapat buksan. Ang journal ay pagmamay-ari ni Francisco "Maestro Isko" Rivera, isang rebolusyonaryong lider na wala sa kahit anong history book. Pero mas nakakakilabot ang sumunod na natuklasan: Ang huling pahina ay nakapangalan sa kanya. "Lira Santiago... sa'yo ko iniiwan ang rebolusyong hindi naisulat." As Lira digs deeper, nalaman niya ang tungkol sa Bantay sa Dilim, isang lihim na grupong nakipaglaban para sa kalayaan pero sinadyang burahin sa kasaysayan. Mula sa mga nawawalang dokumento hanggang sa mga pangyayaring hindi tugma sa textbooks, unti-unti niyang nabubuo ang rebolusyong hindi dapat matuklasan. Pero habang lumalalim siya sa sikreto may mga taong sumusunod sa kanya. May mga file na biglang nawawala. At sa bawat gabing binabasa niya ang journal, mas nagiging malinaw ang mga panaginip niya tungkol kay Maestro Isko... parang alaala na hindi naman dapat sa kanya. Caught between a love that began a century too late and a truth na pilit itinatago ng makapangyarihang tao, Lira must choose: Ilalaban ba niya ang kasaysayang pilit binura? O magiging isa rin siyang pangalan na hindi kailanman naisulat?

"Zero Division walks where darkness reigns, yet refuses to kneel." There are evils that can't be imprisoned, the kind that feed on human desire. They whisper in silence, hiding behind greed, lust, envy, and fear. They don't kill directly; they make people do it for them. They are called Demons of Sin, unseen entities that corrupt the human mind and drive it into darkness. To fight them, the academy formed what the world must never know: Zero Division. A covert unit of eight, trained not only to fight but also to hunt what cannot be seen. Each one carries a power forged to resist corruption, a weapon built for the unseen war between humanity and the voices that prey on it. Unregistered. Unacknowledged. Unseen. They exist outside the system, moving only when the world begins to rot from within. Zero Division. They silence what the world refuses to hear.
