Riven survived being Classless.
That may have been the easy part.
After awakening the forbidden Ascension Grid beneath Blackridge, Riven can do what no ordinary Awakener should be capable of. He can acquire abilities outside a Class, combine incompatible powers, and build a progression path the Prime System was never designed to permit.
Now the System knows his name.
Prime Enforcers are closing in. Stormguard is watching every move he makes. And powerful people have started asking the one question Riven cannot afford to answer.
What exactly is he becoming?
Then Awakeners begin losing their skills.
Not temporarily.
Permanently.
Victims are found alive but hollowed out, their strongest abilities ripped from their Class architecture by creatures that should not exist. When one of those attacks reaches elite Shadow Reaper Caelan Ward, Riven is forced into an uneasy alliance with the rival who has spent months believing his Classless progression is nothing more than cheating.
The deeper they investigate, the worse the truth becomes.
The monsters are not accidents.
They were designed.
Someone has been experimenting with stolen skills, corrupted Class structures, and technology connected to the same forgotten power hidden inside Riven.
And the only way to stop them may require Riven to attempt something even the Ascension Grid warns him against.
He has learned how to acquire skills.
Now he must learn how to break them apart.
But every ability has a structure.
Every structure has a weakness.
And once Riven learns how to find those weaknesses, even the strongest Classes may no longer be untouchable.
