The story picks up inside a slipspace bubble as we are reintroduced to the story's main character(s). Veta Lopis and the ferrets (Ash, Olivia and Mark) are undercover aboard a Keepers of the one freedom Lich as it makes its way from planet Reach to installation 00, the Ark, to initiate the "great journey" at the behest of the Dokab in charge, Castor. The Keepers of he one freedom's craft makes its way to the Ark as a fierce battle wages just outside the exit portal in orbit around the Ark. The Lich exists slipspace into a barrage of oncoming plasma and artillery courtesy of the Banished and UNSC forces competing for the portal, the only way to and from the area surrounding the Ark. Castor disobeys his Banished leader Atriox by ignoring direct orders and escaping to the Ark. Thus, Castor is now not only attacked by UNSC forces but also the forces of the Banished. Through a very rough and lucky ride after existing the portal, Castor and company narrowly make their way down toward the Ark to initiate the Divine Wind. Along the way down to the Ark's surface the Lich and crew face another issue, the remnants of the fanatic group, the Covenant. Now Castor must face a three front battle against the Banished, UNSC, and former Covenant. Fortunately, Castor ends up making a forced pact to work with the covenant remains toward the common goal of firing the Halo array.  
''Divine Wind'' picks up where ''Shadows of Reach'' left off, inside a [[slipspace]] bubble as the reader is reintroduced to the story's main characters; [[Veta Lopis]] and the [[Ferrets]] ([[Ash-G099|Ash]], [[Olivia-G291|Olivia]] and [[Mark-G313|Mark]]). The group are undercover aboard the [[Banished Lich]] ''[[Pegoras]]'', stolen by the [[Keepers of the One Freedom]] as it makes its way from [[Reach]] to [[Installation 00]] to initiate the [[Covenant religion|Great Journey]] at the behest of the ''[[dokab]]'' leading the group, [[Castor]]. The Keepers' craft makes its way to the Ark to emerge in the midst of a fierce battle being waged just outside the exit portal in orbit around the Ark. The Lich exits slipspace into a barrage of oncoming [[plasma]] and artillery courtesy of the local [[Banished]] and [[UNSC]] forces competing for the portal - the only way to access or leave the region surrounding the Ark. With Castor having betrayed the Banished leader, [[Atriox]], by stealing the Lich and escaping to the Ark, Castor is now not only attacked by UNSC forces but also the forces of the Banished. Through a very rough and lucky ride after existing the portal, Castor and company narrowly make their way down toward the Ark to initiate the [[Great Purification|firing]] of the [[Halo Array]] - a process they refer to as "Divine Wind". Along the way down to the Ark's surface, the Lich and crew come face another issue; the [[Covenant loyalists|remnants]] of the [[Covenant]]. Potentially facing a four-way war between the Keepers, Covenant, Banished and UNSC forces on the Ark, Castor ends up making a forced pact with the [[prelate]] leader of the loyalists, [[Dhas Bhasvod]], to work with the Covenant remnants toward the common goal of firing the Halo array.  
Veta notices that things are going bad for their team and alien company when they are heavily outnumbered and outgunned. When the Lich crashes on the Epsilon spire the remaining crew are surrounded by the former covenant forces and ushered into a pact with their leader, an elite augmented San'shyuum named Dhas Bhavod. Dhas decides to spare their lives once he learns that Castor has two things he needs to activate halo, an oracle (intrepid eye) and human bodies (reclaimers). Once Veta learns of this she attempts to further sabotage their plan by starting a fight among the two groups to slow them down and send a message to the UNSC forces at the Ark (UNSC: Spirit of Fire) for backup or bombardment. The message is later found by banished forces and they attempt to set a trap further down the line.

Veta notices that things are going bad for their company when they are heavily outnumbered and outgunned. When the Lich crashes on the Epsilon Spire, the remaining crew are surrounded by the former Covenant forces and ushered into a pact with their leader, an elite augmented San'shyuum named Dhas Bhavod. Dhas decides to spare their lives once he learns that Castor has two things he needs to activate Halo, an "oracle" (the [[ancilla]] [[Intrepid Eye]]) and Human bodies - for their [[reclaimer]] status. Once Veta learns of this, she attempts to further sabotage their plan by starting a fight among the two groups to slow them down and send a message to the UNSC forces at the Ark consisting of the {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}} for backup or bombardment. The message is later found by Banished forces and they attempt to set a trap further down the line.
