A lot has happened since Megan found out that she's an Avian, an Antiquus, to be exact. After being tracked down by Irenesav, the corrupt Avian government, Megan was shipped off to one of Irenesav's strict boarding schools against her will. Although Megan is thankful she is not alone-Jason and Paul are there with her-dealing with these guys can get complicated. Just outside the sphere of Irenesav's influence, rebellion boils precariously close to the surface. Verus, the organization of Avians who have been in hiding since Irenesav's near successful attempt to wipe out the rebellious society, is working harder than ever to weaken the corrupt government. As Megan, Jason, and Paul transition into life at WS Academy-full of violence, brainwashing, and secrets - they find themselves working with Verus, their allies, to take down Irenesav once and for all. After all, what better way to sabotage Irenesav than from the inside?
