America had barely survived a nuclear and ecological holocaust. Two
centuries later, a new order emerges to inflict its rule on the
fortified city-states known as baronies. Beyond the walls is Terra
Infernus, the hell on earth, where a fragile freedom remains.
Once a fearsome warrior of the new order, Kane discovers a secret that
has damned humanity since the dawn of history. Banished as an enemy of
the state, he joins forces with Brigid Baptiste, keeper of the archives
and brother-in-arms Grant to free the future from the yoke of inhuman
power.
In the place that was once called New Mexico, the Cerberus warriors find
the first clues to humanity's dark destiny.
