The Autumnal War has raged on for months, threatening to wipe out the whole of Lower New France, but when Arielle Jansen and Evan Cavendish are liberated from the confines of the Sector Soldier Program, they will return to Columbia where they are tasked with a choice: team up with the Tethered Revolutionaries to help end the Autumnal War...or feign ignorance and remain in the safety of the walled-off sub-city. As the St. Petersburg Trial of 1995 looms ever closer, Arielle may have to give up everything she's known and everything that's made her who she is in order to endure the last leg of the Regency's tyranny across Lower New France. The Time for Complacency is Over.
