Emerald City

After briefly reclaiming a normal life, Sage tries to stay with the people she loves and keep her pizzeria running. But threats tied to her hybrid blood, shifting city leadership, and hidden experiments make safety impossible.

Forced out into dangerous new territory, Sage learns the conflict reaches beyond one city and that more hybrids and secrets exist than she was told. As alliances shift and trust fractures, she has to decide who is friend, enemy, or both.

The pressure keeps building through battles, revelations, and emotional fallout as Sage and those around her are pushed into bigger choices. The book ends on a major cliffhanger, with the larger conflict still unresolved.
