The Garden has fallen. The war has only begun. After the destruction of their last sanctuary, Juliette and Gianluca Farioli are left with nothing but the frozen wilderness ahead of them—and the child that everyone is willing to kill for. Magnus Company wants control. Dominion wanted prophecy. But both were only pieces of something far greater. Hidden behind the collapse of civilization stands a secret force known only as The Architects —the true minds behind the experiments that changed humanity forever. They created the infection. They engineered evolution. And now, they want the final result.
