Laura Mendez leaked the truth: Verdios is enslaving human minds in a secret military program. But weeks later, her sister is still trapped, the protests are losing steam, and no one seems willing to act. When Verdios's enforcers find her, Laura turns to the only lead she has left. She sets out to find Richard Warder, the original Verdios whistleblower, hoping he'll have a solution she doesn't. Alongside a small fellowship of allies, she travels through an immersive medieval domain where her mods don't work, Squirrel is now a Wolf, and Bathazor brings chaos to every village they enter. But the deeper they go, the more dangerous the mission becomes. Allies vanish. Enemies close in. And with her sister's life still on the line, Laura is running out of time-and running out of people to trust. If no one else can stop Verdios, how far is Laura willing to go?
