A century after the Rupture tore reality asunder, the legendary Omega Squad operates on the razor's edge of a world warped by silent, alien Monoliths. For elite soldier Katherine Piper, the chaotic energy poisoning the landscape is a personal agony-a sickness her superiors call Flux-Sensitivity. But on a disastrous mission deep in the ruins of Chicago, she discovers it may be something far more powerful.

Stumbling upon an alien artifact and a conspiracy that reaches the highest echelons of the Apex Mandate, Omega Squad is forced to go rogue. Branded as traitors and hunted by their own, they are plunged into a desperate race against both the fanatical, bio-mechanical Bloomsworn and the shadowy forces they once served. Their only hope lies in deciphering the truth behind the Monoliths-a truth that could either save humanity or grant their ruthless former commander the power to become a god.

With a powerful psychic ability awakening within her and enemies closing in on all sides, Piper and her fractured squad must navigate a treacherous landscape of forgotten secrets and broken loyalties. They were the Mandate's finest weapon. Now, they are its most wanted heretics in a war for the very soul of the future.
