In the aftermath of war, false friendships, failed loyalties, and new alliances make truth difficult to see clearly. The battle for Tawtrukk is over, but the madman that started it all has escaped, and now he has instructions for detonating the nuclear bomb that stood dormant in the Southshaw chapel for thirteen generations. If he can't be stopped in time, Freda will have to find some way to lead the survivors to a new home over the mountains, into a land she'd always been taught was an uninhabitable wasteland of smoldering radiation.Cryptic clues left by Southshaw's Founders three hundred years ago suggest that the land may not be as desolate as everyone thought, but can those clues be trusted? Can Freda unite the bitter, angry remnants of the Southshaw, Tawtrukk, and Subterra peoples? Can she get them to follow the clues when many think they lead to death instead of to the paradise Freda believes they promise?

He drew her in. And, before she knew it, she was in too deep. By the time Jewel discovers this mysterious man's dark secret, has she already sealed her own fate? Will he become like all the others who had come before her, the ones who had tried to warn her? Or will she be the first to find a way out? And can she live with the consequences?
