When the sudden appearance of rogue mechs on campus grounds propels her to the forefront of a political revenge plot that has lain dormant for almost twenty years.

On a journey north to visit her ailing grandmother, Elanore Redley encounters the reclusive Count Wolfram while fleeing a monstrous pursuer.
