The authorities are dead, the allies fractured, Alex and Ira divided, Argon is mortally wounded. There is no denying it now - they are at war. There is no going back; any hope of a truce is off the table and Alex is to blame. However, determined to end the war once and for all, one way or another, Alex, Ira and their allies are forced to cast grievances aside. And, unfortunately, they need Argon. In order to destroy the First, they need to work together. However, in order to destroy the First, Alex is forced to go further than ever before - perhaps too far this time. But, if the Midnight Children defeat the First what will become of them? Is it a chance they must take for the sake of the clans? Should they risk their lives and become the sacrifice the prophecy promised? Or, does Argon have something else in store?

Alex Valentine will never be trusted. With her fate tied to an ancient prophecy she is destined to destroy her clan...and she has every intention to do so. Under the ever-watchful eyes of her Authorities she is forced to serve time in her clan's military institute. However, when she destroys their sacred artefact, the Ankh of the Dead, it appears she has signed her death warrant. With the Authorities' grip tightening, enemies closing in and two more Midnight Children revealed; Alex needs to act fast. Prophecy or no prophecy she will have her revenge. For the life she was forced into and for the life stolen from her, nothing will stand in her way. Except... her own past. When old ghosts return to haunt her she must decide who she can trust, including herself. She must decide how to play her game without playing right into the Authorities' hands. She must decide how far she is willing to go and how much blood she is willing to spill.
