When freedom is brutally withheld, the people have no choice but to rise up, in this dystopian SF sequel to The Rebellion's Last Traitor. Overthrowing the tyrannical Tathadann government should have been cause for celebration. But as Eitan City announces its independence, soldiers from the northern province of Vargmannskjor storm the ceremony and annex the city. The cruelties of the Tathadann soon pale beside the new occupiers' atrocities. Henraek finds himself resettled in the north, in a city where the people seem happy and well... until its labour camps and enslaved spirits come to light. The rebellion must begin anew, in Eitan City and throughout Vargmannskjor, and now the stakes are higher than ever.
