**Second Book in Series** Several weeks from the incident that nearly lost his one and only daughter, Optimus Prime now carries within him the very sparkling who he once thought was lost a long time ago. A procedure that is meant to save her life, though he is learning to endure what many mechs and femmes go through while carrying. However, he has zero regrets. After all, his love for his daughter runs deep, and he will protect her at all costs. However, Megatron has not forgotten her either. Knowing now who she is related to, a part of him wants her among the decepticons because of her power. But also a part of him wants to get to know her. A decision he made years ago, believing he would never care for any of the new sparks he had created at the time, now has come to realize that he wants to know her. But that does not stop his war against the autobots. Which Optimus, unfortunately, would come to learn. But it is not just Megatron who seeks out this sparkling. Eyes linger on the autobot leader after his assistance with aiding a decepticon, and their keen interest in the sparkling leads to danger to both Optimus and his sparkling. To the point where her life literally hangs by a thread again. And, someone beneath the surface of the planet, plans vengeance against those who banished him. Including against a young dragon who is only related by energon.
