As Scarlett and her family prepare to become Tried and True Guardians, Stygian Knights make their own plans.
Slate's memories haven't returned, Brass avoids her, and Ash becomes her shoulder to lean on as, together, they learn to govern Tidings. The end of their grief and torment is close at hand, and Scarlett feels the turn in the tides coming as long as she continues to go along with Ash's increasing demands.
While Quick Silver and Indigo have settled into their public relationship, concern grows as Scarlett's pregnancy shows and her time is spent with the ones she used to loathe, and more time than ever on her own.
With enemies so close, it's impossible to see the danger coming.
