For a century, Queen Myrrah was the absolute ruler of the Locust, the architect of a world-ending conflict, and the woman who brought humanity to the brink of extinction. When the smoke finally clears and the Locust are shattered, the Coalition of Ordered Governments expects a simple execution. Instead, they get the most dangerous prisoner in the history of Sera.
Cast into the impenetrable depths of The Slab, Myrrah is stripped of her crown, her hive-mind, and her army. But she is not left to rot for long. When a group of Outsiders-led by the mysterious Reyna Diaz-stages an impossible, high-stakes breakout, the fallen Queen is thrust into a world she tried to destroy.
Now on the run in the lawless wastes, Myrrah is forced to confront the wreckage of her own legacy. Hunted by the relentless Marcus Fenix and shadowed by the ghosts of her past, she must navigate the fragile politics of the survivors and the growing bond with a granddaughter she never knew she had.
In a world still reeling from the scars of E-Day, can a woman who lived for power learn how to live for something else? Or is she destined to remain the monster everyone expects her to be?
