"The mutants of Arakko spent millennia scarred by war--but on the world once called Mars, they're learning to live in peace. Storm knows that the red planet needs something greater than a queen to keep the peace--but while she has a broken Magneto in her corner, Roberto DaCosta is making his own moves. And Abigail Brand of S.W.O.R.D. has other plans to influence Arakko, with an unstable Vulcan on her side and Cable keeping his own secrets. And what of Tarn the Uncaring? He waged war and torture on Arakko for centuries, and he now sits on the planet's ruling council. Two different schemers have plans to remedy that...but only one can win. It's a new world full of intrigue--and someone has to fight for it!"-- Provided by publisher.
