When a terrorist attack takes out a train on Solaras, the rebellion rises – with Alyss and Farah deeply entrenched in its message. On their quest for justice and peace they gain some new friends and make discoveries that shake them to the core. It’s a long, terrible road ahead. How far will they go for what they believe in?
