Nearly a decade under The Witen's rule has shaped Maisie into a fighter.

Maisie shares her story with Jordana, recounting the start of The Witen as fallout from the execution sends several into hiding. Will ten years of excruciatingly patient planning be undone on a whim? Feelings may blossom amid the chaos, but in an everchanging world, is there even time for love?

Jasper Montrois is no more. The Commander has all but buried him. He exists only in treacherous dreams. Every year The Commander's reign endures only deepens his belief that he has chosen the right path.

And Maisie Sagal? What is she to a man like The Commander? Such a man need not bother his greatness with a mere nuisance.
