Fortunately, Martin Henderson has learned she is there, and is prepared to save her. He is, however, imprisoned himself in an abandoned military base in Lithuania. The man responsible, Edward Morningstar, intends on killing him. If Martin has any hope of saving Lili, he must escape, and soon.

Knight has left DC and is on the run, hoping to build a coalition that can topple the powerful Morningstar. As Lili fights to keep her spirit alive in the Chinese prison, and Henderson fights to break free of his own prison, Knight leads the effort to stop the maniacal Morningstar from destroying not only America, but the world.
