The Story
Paige Mahoney wakes outside Scion with half a year missing from her memory and no clear sense of how she got there. Cut off from key truths and separated from Arcturus, she tries to piece together what happened while avoiding capture and reconnecting with the revolution.
Her path takes her through the free world, especially Venice, where she works with the Domino Programme and uncovers a sinister operation tied to the wider war between humans and immortals. As new alliances form and old bonds are tested, Paige has to navigate espionage, political maneuvering, and the danger closing in from Scion.
The search for her memories becomes tied to bigger stakes: recovering Arcturus, protecting allies, and stopping plans that could reshape the conflict across Europe. The book pushes the series forward with confrontations, reveals, and relationship tension while expanding the scope of the world beyond London.
