The second volume of a genre-bending sci-fi trilogy by illustrator and comic artist Daniel Isles (also known by his pen name DirtyRobot)! Dive headfirst into a hi-tech, hi-speed world of conspiracy, mystery, and action!

 

Tension is rising in the city of Joyama and a highly anticipated tournament could see it all erupt.

 

Two houses are on the brink of war as coordinated attacks are carried out throughout the city--hitting the sacred heritage sites of the Royal House. With a legendary tournament set to begin, the city's on alert, and all eyes are on the House of Vipers--those suspected of committing the violent acts. Meanwhile, Rubi has made a new home for herself living with Ringo--she's officially an Outrider assistant with a few missions under her belt and now, tough as nails. But Ringo seems to have only two things on his mind--exacting revenge on Black Cotton, and envisioning all that could have been with his love, Arwen. With Ringo's squad left scarce, a new member joins the team--one unlike any other! Amid the clamor of the upcoming tournament, the city in unrest, and Viper activity at the border, the Outriders soon discover this alleged feud goes deeper than a house rivalry.
