Elly remains at the Thane home to recover following her narrow escape from Cillian. As Cillian gathers his forces, Elly learns the truth about who Ethan is and discovers her own place in the storm building around her-a storm that shakes the foundation of Elly's once stable existence. Trying to survive her new reality, Elly leaves the only safe place she knows to journey with Cillian as he plots to destroy the people Elly has come to love. With the Thane army outnumbered and no protection from Ethan, it is left to Elly to maneuver her way through a dangerous game of chess with Cillian-a game in which the pieces on the board are not always what they appear to be. Elly's strategy unravels, however, when Ethan gives Cillian the one thing Cillian wants: a Thane. In a desperate bid to free herself and save both the humans and the cians, Elly turns to the only chess piece still in play: Ricco, a chaeli commander who believes the only good cian is a dead one. With Ricco's help, Elly leads her rag-tag army in a fight against her own people and into a war between two worlds. In order to survive, Elly must summon all of the strength and determination she possesses and face a foe that wields a weapon more powerful than any she has ever seen-a weapon Elly doesn't even know exists.
