Violet has escaped the tyranny of the Jewel, but freedom comes with a terrible price. The Duchess of the Lake has kidnapped her sister Hazel, forcing Violet back into the very world she fought to leave behind. The outer circles of the Lone City have endured generations of oppression under royal rule, but change is coming. The Black Key, a secret society bent on revolution, prepares to tear down the barriers between the city's divided rings. Violet finds herself at the heart of this uprising, yet her mission remains intensely personal. She must navigate the dangerous politics of the Jewel once more, risking everything she has gained.
