The curse is finally broken, but the price was too cruel. Jack survived the harrowing Ta'Ren, only to watch Steve die in front of his eyes. Denver was a brutal ordeal, and despite Jack emerging stronger than ever, the loss of Steve is a hard blow for the Barkleys, especially Jack. Now, he is on the road with Genevieve, following a mysterious task from their enigmatic handler. With a beautiful companion by his side and a wooden compass in his hand, he ventures deeper into the desert.

Jill has claimed Reno and become the new Territory Lord, but at a steep cost. The thrice-cursed followers of the Red Sun coveted the Lordship and were willing to kill for it. To protect the citizens, Jill took a hard stance and eliminated their leader, the Herald of the Red Sun. Yet, killing him wasn't enough to eliminate the cult's threat. As more people seek her guidance, Jill realizes that being the Lord of Reno is more complicated than she imagined. With a beast wave approaching, time is running out.

The defense of Reno becomes easier after Jack's return. But he isn't alone. Another group of defenders has returned, and the new Lords must learn more about their powers and roles. One thing is clear: dealing with the beast wave won't be easy. However, with a new cat, a new teacher, and their reunion, what could possibly go wrong?
