The war will determine not only the fate of their own world, but the fate of every world. As the Lucanti make one final attempt to use the Umbra power to overshadow the universe, the six Defiers unite across their worlds to vanquish its evil once and for all. But as they fight across foreign worlds, the Defiers must both combat the Umbra and grapple with unknown cultures and strange lands. And every mistake the Defiers make risks irrevocably plunging the destiny of the universe into eternal shadow. Yet the farther they travel, the more difficult it becomes to discern hero from villain. Soon, the Defiers are even forced to question their own actions. Is the line between good and evil clear, or blurred?

A pirate's life is devoted to defying the government; a soldier's is pledged to defending it. Savvy, beautiful, and fiercer than a caged eagle, Captain Aquiline carries a reputation that boasts more infamy than that of any other pirate; she is a living legend. Dark, grotesque, and more merciless than the blade of his longsword, Commander Blaze evokes fear even from his own soldiers; he is the nightmare that haunts children's dreams. Yet Aquiline and Blaze remain best friends. As both struggle for opposite forces of the impending war, their greatest battle is not living on opposing sides, but living with opposing decisions. One will choose friendship over duty, the other duty over friendship. And those two decisions will define the destiny of their world.
