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.

She must decide how far she is willing to go and how much blood she is willing to spill.
