Time is running out.
The Scales of Equilibrium have unleashed their chaos of urban sabotage, determined to cull humanity's toxic industrial sprawl. Ruthless and dedicated, its members attack anyone who opposes them or the mysterious, powerful entity they believe personifies the planet.
After a narrow escape from their first encounter with The Presence, D, Jess and Rosalind look for answers at the headquarters of the Henry Lyons Foundation. They find an organization reeling from internal strife and struggling to combat a global surge of Imprints. The Presence haunts their every move. While honing their skills for the battle ahead, they make another chilling discovery: Imprints that echo future events. But only the very near future.
D and friends decide to seek out the leading authority on The Presence: Scales founder Allen Weston. They play a cat and mouse game through a world grappling with the reality of increasing ghostly activity. Is this an omen of The Presence manifesting its vast power? Can they learn how to stop it in time, without losing everything and everyone they love?
