Its been two months since Sauls disappearance, and theres still no sign of him, leaving the public to wonder whether the Sectand the Effigiesare capable of protecting anyone.

When Saul suddenly surfaces in the middle of the Sahara desert, the Sect sends Maia and her friends out after him.

With enemies on all sides and the world turning against them, the Effigies have to put their trust in each othereasier said than done when secrets threaten to tear them apart.
