Why did we have to do terrible things to get what we needed? All of this bloodshed and heartache and resentment could have been avoided if we received those needs in the first place.

Cassius has won. He triumphantly seized the crown from his downcast sister and successfully flipped the kingdom on its head by replacing one form of oppression with another. There’s only one thing that has slipped through his grasp—but not for long.

Nora has lost. She is a gilded prisoner within the hallowed halls of Galdor Academy and is separated from her friends, unsure if they escaped the siege alive. There’s only one thing she can do in their absence: make him pay.

As Cassius casts judgment on those who don’t pledge their loyalty, Nora does everything in her power to shift the tides and soundly prove that Cassius is not the messiah her people claim he is. And when a powerful connection ties Nora and her missing friend, Fern, back together, both seek to fulfill an unbreakable promise in hopes of unifying Iridion through something greater than fear.

From award-winning author Kailey Bright comes the thrilling action-packed finale in the UN series.
