Gray Weathersby and his group of rebels are determined to bring down the Franconian Order. But they may be too late. The Order is closer than ever to its ultimate goal - building an unstoppable army - and every generation of Forgeries is more sophisticated, harder to detect, and deadlier than the one before. Now the rebels have joined forces with new allies, the Expats. But when even the most familiar faces can't be trusted, Gray will have to tread carefully if he wants to succeed - or survive.
