The war between Verenigen and Moa'rehnza is over. Former soldiers find themselves unable to settle back into their old lives, so they become bandits, law enforcement officers, bounty hunters. Three men from the 12th VRF, all blessed and cursed with unusual abilities, decide to make their way as muscle-for-hire mercenaries to fund their futures. Their jobs force each of them to realize who he really is.
While Flynn Earelle wants to transcend his violent nature through study and meditation, he ultimately joins his former squadmates in their venture. When the men are hired to steal a rare artifact known as the World's Eye, they discover too late that another dangerous group also seeks the precious object.
Unlike Flynn, Kyote Kurttsen surrenders to his savage nature and relishes the brutality that his gift unleashes. His lack of control will cost him dearly, and his healing abilities may have their limits.
Marianus O'mas, now-retired spymaster, retreats to the Vale, far from the political machine that has left him disgruntled. Old habits, however, are impossible to give up, and O'mas sets covert plans against the Grymore Foundation in motion.
In this direct sequel to The Killing Kind, The World's Eye tells the story of men who must make new futures and new homes in a world that changed while they were at war.
