This is his fight; he must face Moses alone. Yes, the Indies won the battle against Zhang's POE army but not the war. Wren is not safe-no one is safe-until Moses Zhang pays the ultimate price for his actions here in this time. Young Aiko, "Little Loved One" wants out of her chambers. She's sick of Papa's rules, the suffocating confinement here in D&D, her only companion the stone-hearted guardian Winston. She wants to be outside, to live a real life, be a normal teenager, and she has a plan... Rejected by Coru, alone and stripped of her telepathic powers, Wren knows she needs to return to her home in the north to heal her heart-until a powerful message sends her in the opposite direction, racing to reach Coru before it's too late. Coru's, Aiko's, and Wren's burning missions send them on a collision course straight into the watery caves beneath Able Island. Will they expose Zhang's explosive secrets in time to stop him?
How Heroes are MadeSafely hidden on Able Island, Moses Zhang is ready to unleash thousands of virus-weaponized POE soldiers on the remaining rebels taking shelter in Freeland and in Raven's Park.
