(ALSO AVAILABLE ON FANFICTION!) Maven's regime has toppled and he is officially in the custody of the Scarlet Guard, but the Guard has a new enemy to fear, Samson Merdaus, who has named himself the new king. Seeking refuge at the Lerolan Estate in the South, Phoenix Legion and the Scarlett Guard count their dead and regroup. But with Hector's faction permanently destroyed, their numbers have dwindled to nothing. So the Scarlet Guard will execute its most daring plan ever: join with the scarlet Guard in Lakelands, and take back the crown, or die trying. But even they may not be able to help. It may come down to the help of the mysterious king of Monfort, who offers his assistance at a steep price. But nothing is as it seems, lies are becoming more enticing that the truth, and Mare and Cal are faced with another decision that could tear them apart forever. Secrets and betrayals are mounting, and only one thing is certain in this New Dawn: All will burn.
