Damian Grimm is dead. Ethan Wolfe, former top enforcer for the Grimm Family Mob, has Damian’s card, and the remnants of the family are in the hands of an ally. But Wolfe’s original charge from Cerberus was not just to clean house within the Grimm family… it was to clean house within all the crime families.

The Weeds, the Singh family, and the Renfeldt still nest in the city like ticks, all of whom have grown fat and powerful by picking up the pieces of the other families. It appears that a shadowy figure — an extremely powerful deckbearer born before the Civil War — is coordinating their efforts. And he’s sent an ex-navy seal to deal with Wolfe.

Now, Wolfe must make sure he is ready to fight this new threat, with Shel, Miriam, and Rhett by his side. They are even joined by a new ally: the hacker, Fern. Wolfe must make his deck, and the decks of his allies, more powerful. He must train himself, get the remainder of the Gate to the Infernal set cards, and kill the man who some say is the most powerful in Noimore — all while avoiding getting on the police’s radar yet again. The game isn’t over yet; round two is just starting.
