In her bed at home in Bromma, Agnes wakes up with a jerk. Something has awakened her. Cautiously, she sneaks up to the window and peeks out from behind the curtain.

After escaping from the colony ship in a faraway system, Cole has uncovered sinister evidence of August Walton's oppression: a castoff civilization living in the past and forced to comply with the Eternal leader's unjust edicts. It doesn't take long for Cole to realize that the planet has its own secrets. Navigating lies and half-truths leads to a brewing rebellion led by the one person who might hold all the answers he seeks. But, as any good Renegade knows, nothing's ever easy.

Cole Riker is a free man. Or close enough. He no longer has the weight of his past hanging over him, threatening to put him away for the rest of his days.

Gray doesn’t remember how to get home, and all the evidence says his people abandoned him after an unknown threat came calling. And that’s only the beginning.

There, he finds the material he’s been sent to recover, along with something more. A brand-new form of ancient alien life.

As Martin follows the trail to the hidden Templar crypt, aided by biblical scholar Camara Mbaye, they discover something unspeakable in the vaults below Paris. Who are the Soldiers of God and why must they rest until needed?

This doesn't seem at all likely when Lola secretly decides to do something which, at best, can only be described as unexpected: entering them into SongStarz, the television show, and heading them down a path that feels, to Issy, rather like an out-of-control juggernaut with no brakes. Even if they can break out of the high-security military base where they live, will Issy be able to do what Lola wants?
