Synopsis
Prequel novel sets Devil May Cry 5 stage: Nero's disrupted life, Dante's V client, Red Grave City convergence.
Several years after the Order of the Sword incident, Kyrie and Nero have settled into a quiet life together—until a brash, brilliant weapon-artist named Nico barges in and turns their routine upside-down. Around the same time, Dante’s longtime fixer Morrison brings him an enigmatic client known only as V, who claims a new threat is rising and that Dante’s destiny is tied to stopping it. Set on a collision course with unknown danger, Nero and Dante each begin journeys that will ultimately draw them toward the cursed streets of Red Grave City. This prequel novel explores the events that set the stage for Devil May Cry 5, hinting at trials, transformations, and fateful choices yet to come.
