• In a colony of thugs and criminals, there’s plenty of work in maintaining the “peace” of Knowhere.
• But a new power is rising, one that threatens to tear apart the threadbare fabric of the celestial head’s society.
• The mantle of a Guardian weighs heavily on its bearers shoulders.
• Will those destined to safeguard Battleworld’s moon accept that burden in time to save its citizens?
