Nearly two decades have passed since the Seven Years' War chronicled in Spectral Souls II. The world of Neverland survived, but the scars remain — and the peace is fragile. At the center of a new conflict is Zelos, a freelance Contractor, and his crew. Both the Human Genomes and the Original Saints are hunting for artifacts called Elemental Cores: objects that hold the key to healing the war-damaged world and, for one faction, to ensuring Human Genome supremacy. Zelos and his companions have no interest in being pawns in someone else's war — but the Elemental Cores keep finding them.
