    Summary

    The world is coming undone, and the X-Men are too exhausted to notice.
    When Scott Summers returns from a particularly brutal mission against the Brood, he finds the Mansion too silent to be comforting, a friend who vanished on an unauthorized mission, and a worry that gnaws at the edges of his consciousness like a famished animal.
    He does not know that this is merely the prelude.
    When an old ally appears at the entrance of the Jean Grey School for Higher Learning, everything changes.
    The word he utters is not merely a name. It is a prophecy. It is the promise that the end of days is not a distant threat but a certainty drawing nearer with each passing hour. And at the center of it all, an ancient and indifferent force watches, waits, chooses its horsemen.
    As chaos spreads and the world's most powerful heroes become useless reactions, Scott must confront what he has always avoided: the loneliness he has carried since Jean's death, the weight of being the leader everyone expects him to be, and the fact that sometimes the only person who can truly see him is the one he least expected.
