A sadistic game of chess. . .
With the first battle in the revolution under its belt, the Children of Liberty are awash in raw materials, food, and thousands of potential soldiers, but the war is far from won. They have nowhere near enough serum to hold off the plague, Olympus lurks in the distant mountains, and traitors hide in their midst, threatening to tear them apart.
But Jarvis has a plan, both for Neri and for the nation. Grayson does too, and every move COL makes comes with a bloody countermove. While Jarvis tries to outmaneuver the Temple, Evan fights to win Neri's love and keep her safe. She has no room for romance, though. Peace can only come with Grayson's death, and Neri is determined that she will be his reckoning, even if it means she's the final sacrifice on Grayson's altar of blood. . . .
