The Condesce's reign of terror is under threat of coming to an end - the young heiress has begun the rebellion. She wishes to take the throne and upheave the tyranny; but her first attempt didn't go so well. After wounding, but not killing, The Empress, Feferi is fatally wounded herself. The Empress has begun a mass genocide, attempting to kill the "corrupted brood" and start fresh. Feferi didn't mean to get her friends so involved in this mess, but it seems now that they have no choice. Their homes have been destroyed and many of their lusii have been murdered.
