Since the apocalypse began, Bain Lee has survived with a class that should never have been intended for combat.
Using his ability to see into the true nature of the System, he has turned the ocularist class into a powerhouse on the battlefield. His time on this new Earth has changed him, transformed him into what he was always meant to be: A leader among humanity, a general among all sentient species. Will his powers and the arrival of a new ally be enough to save what remains of sentient creatures afflicted by the System's arrival? The Architect of Fate has Bain in her sights, and it will take power beyond imagining if Bain Lee is to save the System's victims and bring down the Crucible.
