A lot has changed since Jessica's visit to Elizabeth's requiem. The power hungry Ivy Venomfang has proclaimed herself as empress, seized control of the reaper and has the serpentine army under her control, and she plans on using the arkkon to remodel the universe for her new empire. Will her betrayal to Lord Draxx be her best choice? Or her undoing? But that isn't the only new threat The order of the nine must deal with; a dastardly plague has spread throughout various parts of the galaxy, turning all it infects into undead blood sucking parasitic creatures, the deadly torphon virus, a disease so vile that not even the serpentine can cure it, the only possible cure is rumoured to be found on the planet Mü. But are the rumours true? Can such a disease be cured? Jessica's greatest challenge, however, is the fact that her worst enemy, Lord Draxx, also happens to be the only one who can help Jessica defeat Ivy and cure the torphon virus. Can Jessica trust him? Can he trust Jessica? And how will Jessica react when an old face returns? An old face whose lust for revenge is strong... Read and find out in the second instalment of the Arkkon series, which focuses on love, loss and the desire for the ultimate power.
