Publisher's Synopsis
It has been three years since the death of Alexander. Three years since Victoria escaped the Underworld. Three years of civil war. Queen Hephata continues her elongated troublesome reign while the Alphas and their allies establish themselves in resistance to the crown.
And beyond the Octava, Victoria hones her power to become the true Commander of Death. In that training, her history begins to show itself and she has to make a choice: Fulfill her destiny and embrace her prophetic title, or return to the man she loves. But in the Octava, a new enemy emerges from the west, striking a nation divided. In the face of this new foe, Hephata must face her past, not only to save her followers, but herself as well. Yet this new threat comes with further challenges because... The Eagle is missing.
