Its photograph reveals the remains of the destroyed weapon—and a fragment that may still contain its devastating power.Someone has recovered what should have been lost.With the threat of the Covenant far from settled and the mystery of the Heart beneath the stone still unresolved, Alfonz and Dolfie must confront a new danger that could threaten everything they fought to protect.This time, Alfonz refuses to face the darkness alone.
