Amidst the chaos, Amaia and Alexiares grow closer, families form in the most perilous moments, and tensions flare as emotions run high. When betrayal strikes in unexpected places, Amaia and her allies must face a harrowing truth: the line between ally and enemy has never been thinner. In this world, survival comes at a price. The question is, how much are they willing to pay?
