However, the challenges are immense: the rebellion simmering beneath the glittering surface of the city draws her in irrevocably. With the support of Ash and a new ally, Violet discovers that her special abilities, the Auguries, go far beyond what she ever thought possible. Yet the path to freedom is perilous, and Violet must decide if she is willing to risk everything to fight against the system that holds her captive.
