Michael Vey faces his most personal challenge yet as the Electroclan wages war in Peru. Tara remains prisoner of the Elite Elgen Guard Unit known as the Chasqui, held by their ruthless leader, the Sovereign Amash. The rescue mission becomes complicated when Jack, once a trusted member of their team, switches sides and allies with Amash. Michael and his electric-powered friends must coordinate with the Alpha Team to prevent the Chasqui from executing their plan to obliterate the city of Arequipa.
