The newly re-formed team must uncover what even the Geth cannot calculate — a mysterious threat to a whole Kite's Nest cluster. In this frontier of data, memory, and cosmic danger, a new commander, accumulating the best features from organics and synthetics, tries to follow in Shepard's footsteps.

Summary
It wasn’t perfect, but it was ours. The guns went quiet, the fleets came home, and for the first time in a long time, we thought maybe the galaxy had learned something.
We built a life in the calm that followed.
Mornings filled with laughter instead of alarms. Evenings spent watching the light fade behind Palaven’s hills. We told ourselves the scars were healing, that the nightmares would fade, that the ghosts we buried would stay buried.They didn’t.
This is not the story of the heroes who saved the galaxy.
It is the story of what came after — of the love that endured when everything else burned away, and of the fire that would ignite a new war.Because when the world crumbles, when the heavens fracture and the ashes fall,
all that remains —
all that matters —
is who we hold on to.3rd Book in the After Trilogy.
