( Book 2) Recaptured by the council, L is faced with a trial set to execute her without question. On the outside her allies remain thin but loyal as they march for her survival and pin for her to be proven innocent. Corvo's dedication is tested and the ever clear line between his family and love are put on the war front. But will the Alpha and Beta of Ruby be able to help her or will they meet a similar fate because of a century old law? Can L find her way out of the Council's hands for good or will she meet the end she was destined for since the fall of Ruby?
