{{Article quote|October [[2559]]. With the galaxy in the suffocating grip of a [[Cortana|renegade artificial intelligence]], another perilous threat has quietly emerged in the shadows: the [[Keepers of the One Freedom]], a fanatical and merciless [[Covenant]] [[Covenant remnant|splinter group]], has made its way beyond the borders of the galaxy to an ancient Forerunner installation known as the [[Installation 00|Ark]]. Led by an infamous [[Brute]] named [[Castor]], the Keepers intend to achieve what the Covenant, in all its might, failed to: activate [[Halo]] and take the last steps on the path of the [[Great Journey]] into transcendence…


But unknown to Castor and his new, unexpected ally on the Ark, there are traitors to the cause in their midst—namely the Ferrets, composed of Office of Naval Intelligence operative Veta Lopis and her young team of Spartan-IIIs, who have been infiltrating the Keepers to lay the groundwork for Castor’s assassination. But with ONI’s field operations now splintered and cut off by the Guardian threat, Veta’s original mission has suddenly and dramatically escalated in scope. There’s simply no choice or fallback plan—either the Ferrets somehow stop the Keepers or the galaxy faces an extinction-level event….{{Ref/Site|Id=CFParallel|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/parallel-threads|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Canon Fodder - Parallel Threads|D=25|M=6|Y=2021}}}}

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*The novel's title makes reference to the [[Prophet of Mercy]]'s quote on ''[[Halo 2]]'' when he describes [[Installation 05]] and how it will begin the [[Covenant]]'s [[Covenant religion|Great Journey]]. It is also a reference to a quote from the ''Psalm of the Journey'' on page 3: "the galaxy will be cleansed by a Divine Wind."

*It's revealed that [[Intrepid Eye]] survived the six years between ''[[Halo: Retribution]]'' and ''Halo: Divine Wind''. She is finally destroyed by the {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}}. The book reveals that ONI eventually discovered her network and dispatched millions of dumb AI hunter-killer teams to destroy it, leaving the ancilla so isolated that she was unaware of the [[asteroidea merozoite|asteroidea]] outbreak on ''[[Argent Moon]]'' until [[Operation: BIRD IN HAND]]. While she was believed to have been destroyed along with the station, Intrepid Eye barely managed to escape by latching on to the ''[[ONI Acrisius|Acrisius]]'' as Blue Team made their own escape.
**The term "Divine Wind" is also a direct translation from "Kamikaze" in Japanese.
