In 1886, Ingledene was the scene of the brutal deaths of a greengrocer and his wife at each other's hands. 138 years later, the house had lain empty for almost a decade with nobody willing to enter the dark and rotting home. That is until author River Johnson and her husband Cole arrive in the Devon town of Smallwood, looking for their ideal home. Their budget is far smaller than the average property values, but when Cole notices a joint listing for Ingledene and the greengrocers in the high street, the price is too good to pass up.

The events leading up to the genocide of the human race were complex; more so than we realised. Unknown to us, aliens had walked our planet for decades, engineering the extermination of the human race. The infection and the defence at Summer Haven were parts of a greater and more intricate plot.

Acting on a recommendation from a former business associate, Saltair and Krenik travel to the Iguazu System. The deal promises to be one of their most lucrative yet. But upon their arrival, they find Outpost 47 completely deserted. Despite Krenik's reluctance, the pair land their ship on the moon's surface and begin exploring. There are no signs of struggle or death, and no bodies lie anywhere.

When Saltair and Krenik decide they need to start collecting more resources than the wider galaxy can now provide, they decide to head to the one place that nobody goes. The Sol System. In 2151, Earth was destroyed by a group of renegades known only as 'The Decimators'. Since then, multiple planets have died and crumbled, and gravimetric disturbances are off the scale. However, the area is rich in minerals. Enough to make the pair take early retirement.

The Decimators have succeeded. Everything in the galaxy is either dead or dying. All hope destroyed. That is until a reality-wandering Syl'Va discovers that these events were never meant to happen. Interference from a supernatural creature altered the course of history, and the only way to save the future is to repair the past. The final story in the Resurrection arc brings the tale full circle and sets up the beginning of the end for the Dark Corner Series.

But rumours are abound across the galaxy of an organisation building towards a resistance. Known only as 'The Unity', every surviving species begin making their way to their proposed salvation.
