General Arika Cobane, beloved leader of the worker rebellion, makes a boldGÇöbut illegalGÇömove to ensure the peopleGÇÖs freedom. When her scheme fails and her co-conspirator hangs for treason, ArikaGÇöoverworked and overwroughtGÇöblacks out.

When she awakens, everything has changed. SheGÇÖs been stripped of her rank and power and the new leader of the Kongo, Kira Swan, is a charismatic traitor bent on consigning the Kongo under the guise of peace.

Desperate, Arika reunites with Hosea Kahn and seeks treatment for her blackouts at the Compound, deep in the deadly Obi Forest.

When a new source of strength presents itself, an ancient authority reserved for the One destined to save the Kongo, Arika gives up everything, including Hosea Khan, to grasp the power, butGÇöall alone, and sick and tiredGÇöcan she muster the will to hold it?
