As she reviews the devastation from Yasteron's bombs, she agonizes over whether to annihilate the entire Kingdom of Yasteron or forge ahead with a peace treaty in accordance with her Oath of Peace. While Aelish struggles with this decision, Isabela tries to recover from being captured and tortured in her research lab by Yasteron soldiers. The clock is ticking, and the overall global temperature is climbing. Isabela knows once it reaches 1.4 C, it will flip the switch on an irreversible tipping point for the climate syndrome, causing humanity's extinction.

Author Biography

She considers herself one of those who allowed it and writing this series is her way of repaying that debt.
