When evil penetrates the walls of their sanctuary, the warriors suddenly realize that nowhere is safe from Hades's destruction. While the others set off to find and destroy the threat against their mate, Vapre finds himself alone with Echo for the first time since his arrival. There's something wrong with Echo, though. He rages out of control with little to no provocation, pushes the boundaries of lewd, and even changes his appearance. Vapre fears he's losing his lover, and when Echo falls into a catatonic state, he's sure he already has. With one mishap after another, Vapre doesn't know how he is supposed to face down a storm from the Underworld. His reluctance won't stop the new moon from dawning, though, and if he hopes to stand strong in the battle, he must first conquer the tempest inside him.
