Synopsis:
‘You may do whatever you wish, now and in the future, but I will be victorious. Underestimate me at your peril; I will do anything it takes to ensure you fail.’
Zoya Iskralin is testing the boundaries of discovery. Testing how humans investigate cruelty and if her reckless games would be exposed. Like her sisters, she is a blended hybrid of pagan alchemical power and technology; Zoya is the Elemental Goddess of Air.
With the increasing threat posed by Mitchell and his allies, Zoya is called home. Her skills are needed, to protect the Compound, and to save the world. After assisting Calina, now Zoya must collaborate with others to further Katya’s endgame.
Following devastating loss, can Katya put aside her grief to fight for a world broken by the God who forced her into exile? Will Katya, and her sisters, succeed? And will her sisters forgive her, once Katya reveals the truth?
