Book III of the Libertas Series. All that has been lost must be made right. Faced with a city ruined by Daegol's attack, and the loss of his own arm and leg, Kit must not only find the strength to rebuild what was lost but also to grow into the war leader everyone expects him to be. But it's not just the war against Daegol that Kit must focus on. The Rebels still need freedom, the Changers are demanding social justice, the trial against Kit's parents and Lord Ifan looms on the horizon and Kit must also deal with the realpolitik of running an alliance that skirts between Dark and Light. And that's without having to subvert the Prophecy that will lead to the death of his brother. Being unbound was only the first step in Kit's journey. Now he has to learn to grow.

Can they be stopped now? Is humanity doomed? And what the f--k is going on with the squirrels? You will get the answers to all of these questions. Or some of these questions. Or none of these questions. We'll see. I will be updating this once a week until I run out of stuff that I find funny. Then I'm done.
