The Defiled, a group of Monstra long confined to the prison planet Golga, have slipped through a rift between worlds and possessed anyone who has ever held the Mask of the Shaman-Empress--including Maika, Kippa, and Maika's father, the Lord Doctor.

Without Zinn at her side, Maika will need to partner with the most unlikely of allies to fight this invasion--or risk losing everything and everyone she loves.
