Her ill-conceived plan, which fractured Uprising, has left the life of the only person who matters to her—Alicia—in danger. Grief-stricken and consumed by guilt, Darlene knows that if Alicia dies, she may lose the last bit of humanity she has left. A monster lurks beneath the surface, and only the faintest thread of self-control keeps it from breaking free.
But there's a way to save Alicia, though it will come at a terrible cost. The journey ahead will be perilous, and Darlene's only allies are a band of misfits, including one who loathes her as much as she does him. However, Darlene will stop at nothing—no price is too high, no danger too great—to keep Alicia alive.
The world may burn, but if that's what it takes, then so be it.
