The Mask Falling

After surviving captivity, Paige Mahoney is sent to a safe house in Scion-controlled Paris, where she must recover while navigating a city full of hidden loyalties, underground networks, and competing agendas. The Domino Program has plans for her, but Paige is determined to pursue her own mission and keep pressure on Scion from within.

Moving between catacombs, safe houses, and the gilded spaces of Versailles, Paige works alongside Arcturus/Warden while also confronting the aftermath of trauma and the strain it places on her choices, trust, and relationships. The book follows her as she learns more about the power structures around her and the web of factions working both for and against the rebellion.

As the political situation escalates, Paige’s bond with Arcturus grows stronger and the stakes around them sharpen. The story builds toward major revelations and a sharply divisive ending that leaves the future of the struggle unresolved.
