Assassination has rocked the Global Alliance. As one Family falls, the others rush to claim the spoils. The victims of treason seek revenge, but the layers of manipulation and deceit thicken around them.
The unrest the Alliance was so desperate to suppress has spread. Enemies are forced to align, though mistrust gnaws the bonds of their fragile alliances. Torrance, the man from the woods, a figure feared by both friend and foe, knows his tortured past is driving him towards an unwanted future. Worse, he can find no alternative path and no way to stop what others have decided for him.
In the shadows, a new agent, known only as the Soothsayer, whose allegiance and aims are as shrouded as his identity, plucks the first notes in the song of war.
And a divided rebellion fears the price of casting off the anonymity that has kept it safe for a century. But when the empowered clash, the weak must unite or be crushed. One decision, one impossible act, will set the resistance on a new and irrevocable course. The world will know the Ignota.
Amidst all the lies in war and politics, the stouthearted might still unearth some truths. Truths of the Ignota's origin. Truths of the Alliance's endgame. But, it is war and it is politics, so even those truths cannot be fully trusted.
The pieces are on the board. But who are the kings, and who are the pawns? And who moves them both?
So continues the story of Torrance, the Ignota, and the Scars of Tomorrow.
