Moc má vždycky svou cenu. Alchymie je skryté umění proměny. V Angel City ji dva soupeřící zločinecké syndikáty prodávají ve formě drogy, která lidem dá vše, co si přejí: krásu, intelekt, charisma. Město tak balancuje na hraně mezi luxusem a zločinem, zdvořilými dohodami a krvavou válkou. Sam sní o úniku z chudoby a je ochotná riskovat cokoli, aby se dostala mezi členy Grand Central. Ari, vychovaný Lumines, je jejich největší zbraní. Kdysi se milovali, teď stojí na opačných stranách konfliktu – a ten může zničit město i je samotné.

With no time to lose, the duo heads abroad to rescue a fellow agent -- only to learn he is none other than Sydney's ex. Of course, nothing is ever simple when it comes to Winter and Sydney.

Der Weg in die Grobstofflichkeit hat den Menschen mehr und mehr von seinem göttlichen Funken in ihm selbst entfernt. Die Versuchungen Lucifers, die durch eine egozentrische Lebensführung, die mehr auf Schein als auf die Wahrheit setzt, zu Tage treten, müssen wahrgenommen werden, während man sich gleichzeitig auf die Liebe Gottes besinnen soll. Als Durchgaben aus der feinstofflichen Welt erhielt Marie die Worte von Jesus, Erzengel Michael und vielen weiteren Engeln und Wesenheiten zu unterschiedlichen Zeiten. Alle haben eines gemeinsam: Es ist ein Weckruf zur Umkehr.

La ragazza è sopravvissuta all'assalto della BeiTech e da quel momento collabora in incognito con i pochi, disperati, coraggiosi membri della resistenza mentre, nel frattempo, si domanda cosa fare del segreto che tiene nascosto. L'ultima cosa che immaginava era di doversi preoccupare del suo ex, Rhys Lindstrom, appena sbarcato sul pianeta e più bello che mai nella sua uniforme BeiTech nuova fiammante. Chi può dirle con certezza se il ragazzo sarà per lei una via d'uscita o la garanzia che non se ne andrà mai viva da quel sasso congelato? Asha non è l'unica nei guai: la banda di sopravvissuti guidati da sua cugina Kady sta tornando su Kerenza, ma non ha abbastanza ossigeno per il viaggio. Oltretutto dietro l'angolo potrebbe anche esserci il rischio di un ammutinamento, ma non saranno certo queste inezie a fermare il Gruppo Illuminae. Purtroppo il tempo non è dalla loro parte. La BeiTech ha pianificato lo sterminio di tutti i civili su Kerenza ed è a un passo dal realizzarlo: soltanto un miracolo può salvarli. E i miracoli, lo sanno tutti, sono soltanto probabilità statistiche... o no?
