The AFO, however, is determined to claim the sword, rumoured to still lust for its enemies blood. Wielding their father’s life over Tzivia and Ram Khalon, they threaten to expose Ram’s long-held and dangerous secret while demanding Tzivia locate the sword. Things get worse when new operative Mercy Maddux emerges with the stunning news that the sword is tied to both Ram’s secret and a string of unsolved serial murders.
