twenty years of absolute peace draped over the cross estate. sophia’s son, alexander junior, was now a brilliant twenty-five-year-old, having inherited his mother's razor-sharp intellect and his legendary grandfather’s unyielding mettle.

their leader, an invisible phantom known only as 'dr. vane,' had developed a highly addictive, lethal synthetic narcotic. they needed a massive, untraceable global distribution network to flood the streets with their poison.
