The idols are falling. Disappointment has set in. The fates of Ruky and Ronald are yet to be decided. Will Ruky's decision to sever relations with Mike end well with her or mislead her into the path of more flawed heroes? Will she be able to stay clear of Dee long enough? Why would a brother want his death avenged after specifically dissuading Ronald from following his footsteps? The darkness intensifies in this instalment that takes us into the core of some characters' lives in colliding story arcs that reveal that there are things that are more horrifying than broken idols - the altars and thrones we make for them and the spirits that reside therein.

Victoria longed for days of adventure and escape from the real world, but what if the real world is actually a better place? Does having purple eyes mean you're destined to be different?
