Ashley Collins doesn't know it yet, but an already broken and conflict world is about to go completely insane and she's going to be on the front lines. A shadow war against alien invaders is kicking off, but dangerous forces long thought sealed away are being woken up. Ash isn't going to get much choice in being caught up in the affairs of nations and monsters, but some old relatives and new acquaintances might be able to give her and all of humanity a fighting chance.

But when playing with the fate of the entire world, perhaps the only thing more dangerous than choosing your friends is choosing your enemies.
