The Magisterium branded Kaila Dwyn a monster. She’s stopped trying to prove them wrong. Broken by loss, she no longer cares about rebellions or a better future. She carves a bloody path through the countryside, slaughtering any Warden who dares hunt the Gifted. Some call her a hero. Others a heretic. Kaila alone knows the truth-she’s a coward, fleeing from the wreckage of everything she failed to save.
While Kaila drowns in violence, Theron wages a different battle. The Elysian rebellion is haemorrhaging. Someone is feeding their secrets to the Magisterium, and the noose tightens with each passing day. Desperate, he turns to the last people who should be trusted: the noble houses, now outcasts like the Elysian, have their own score to settle with the crown.
But neither see the greater game being played. Ancient powers have waited centuries for this moment, and they’re not about to let a miner’s daughter or a band of thieves thwart their plans. War is coming-not the one they’ve been fighting, but something far older and more terrible.
The girl who once dreamed of protecting her people now holds their future in her hands.
The reckoning has begun.
