Darkness surrounds the Maidens, closing in on them in the aftermath of Vinciei's betrayal. Still reeling from Kami's death, Sage and the others find themselves in a precarious position. She still needs to fix her soul, but she needs the remaining Maidens to do so. In turn, they need her help to free their cities from the oppressive rule of the Hands and their leader, Supreme Capricorn. But can they truly trust each other? Or do the other Maidens have their own motives? Sage and Minx must navigate this treacherous new world and fight to free it from tyranny - but will they be able to accomplish what their ancestors did not? Or will fall prey to their emotions and desires and walk the same devastating path that led their families to being cast from this world?
