With the political leaders now favoring Stone Sovereigns and treating the Ungifted as slaves, can the peace Lander’s mother spoke of be achieved? Lander’s loyalty and integrity are put to the test when he struggles to balance his promise to his mother with his promise to get his friends safely home.
