The Twists are gone.
The children are hostages.
Eleusis may be lost-forever.
On Earth, Logan scrambles to gather the shattered pieces of the rebellion. As the Consortium wages open war on every nation that dared support the uprising, cities burn and hope fails.
In Orbit, Mercury and hundreds of rebel prisoners cling to their humanity. Day by day, they walk the knife-edge between survival and defiance-parents, prisoners, and pawns in a war they cannot escape.
On Eleusis, Orion fights a dwindling war of attrition, pressing the last resistance against the walls of the Consortium compound. Inside those walls, Anna endures a hell beyond imagining.
They are scattered. Wounded. Stranded across two worlds and the space between.
But still they fight. Because love and desperation leave no other choice.
The darkest hours forge the deepest bonds.
Who do you cling to when all seems lost?
