Clive and Clover Hamill find themselves on opposite sides of a conflict between the Anchor and Sophia. After a brutal journey that tore their group apart, Clive remains in the Anchor while his brother Clover has reached Sophia. The separation runs deeper than distance. Clive wants nothing to do with Paz Dedios, but when authorities assign him to assist with her questioning, the two former allies discover their disagreements may not be insurmountable. Meanwhile, Clover's certainty crumbles as he learns more about Sophia and meets its mysterious leader Zeno. His faith in everything he came to accomplish begins to crack. Gemma Poplin sets out on her own path of discovery, one that could either transform her understanding of the world or destroy her completely. Each of the four friends must examine beliefs they once held without question. The choices they make will ripple far beyond their personal relationships to shape the future of both civilizations.
