After the explosive events of Bloodline, Earth reels from the collapse of Red Facility 6 and the vanishing of President Riddler. But in the shadows of apparent victory, a deeper truth emerges—what the world thought was the beginning… was only a resurfacing.
Commander Grant Stone, still bearing the divine scar left by the Born Elias, discovers encrypted coordinates buried within Elias’s final transmission. The signal leads him and a new squad of Anointed to a remote desert in the Middle East—an ancient burial site older than civilization itself.
Beneath it lies the Genesis Chamber—the origin point of both angelic and reptilian bloodlines. DNA vaults. Sealed prophecies. A memory of a war that predated Earth.
As Stone and his team navigate the chamber, they uncover the true nature of the Bloodline humanity was never an accident. It was a weapon. A hybrid of light and shadow, designed by beings far beyond angels and demons.
But they’re not alone.
A new enemy stirs—The Heritors, pure-blood reptilian aristocrats long hidden in stasis, awoken to finish what Riddler began. They aim to purify the Earth, erase the Anointed, and establish a new empire where mankind is bred, branded, and burned into servitude.
Time fractures. Dreams bleed into reality. Each Anointed begins to recall lives they’ve lived before—across timelines, dimensions, and even other worlds.
And Elias?
He’s not gone. He’s evolving.
As the Genesis War begins beneath the Earth, a terrifying truth becomes clear:
“The Bloodline doesn't end with us... it begins with what we become.”
