After the harrowing massacre at Mount Weather, Skyla disappears into the wilderness, haunted by the blood on her hands and the betrayal that shattered her soul. For 85 days, she lives alone, hardened by grief and fire. In the silence of the forest, she finds a new purpose. Finding a abandoned village, she learns to speak Trigedasleng fluently, trains in the art of silent movement, archery, and close combat. The girl who once tried to save everyone becomes something else entirely...a myth forged in solitude. They call her Wanlida...The Bringer of Death.
But Skyla's exile doesn't go unnoticed. Whispers of her survival reach the Ark and the clans. A bounty is placed on her head...
Back in Arkadia, tensions rise as a new leader, Charles Pike, seizes control with violent promises and hatred for the Grounders. War brews once more, threatening everything Skyla once fought for. As the lines between friend and enemy blur, she is forced to return from the shadows and reclaim her place in a world on the brink.
But a darker threat has awakened beneath the chaos: the AI known as A.L.I.E....the very intelligence that caused the first apocalypse...has resurfaced, infecting the minds of humans with a false promise of peace. As A.L.I.E. spreads her control, consuming free will, Skyla emerges as the only one immune to her influence. With Clarke at her side and new allies forged in the wild, Skyla leads a desperate rebellion to stop A.L.I.E. before humanity is erased from within.
The fight ends in the wreckage of a broken City of Light, where Lexa makes the final blow that shatters A.L.I.E. forever...but the victory is hollow. In her last breath, the AI reveals something far worse is coming. A new disaster. A second end. And this time, there may be no escape.
