Tauheen is dead, and her followers have scattered. Some of them are now helping the vicious and deadly feather mafia hunt down their own kind.
Aeriels are being branded and killed, their wings hacked off and sold to the highest bidder on the black market.
But after a clash between the Aeriels and the mafia leaves hundreds of civilians dead, Ruban and his team must find a way to deal with this new, unfamiliar threat.
That might have been easier, if Ashwin wasn't keeping secrets of his own – alternatingly fighting the mafia and protecting them.
As the bodies pile up and the line between ally and enemy gets further blurred, Ruban must make choices and sacrifices that will shape the lives of those he loves, as well as the world around them.
