The city lies in ruins, smoke clotting the sky. The Agency of Light is shattered, its numbers bleeding away under the relentless tide of the Shade Syndicate. Gale, once the arrogant pinnacle of heroism, lies broken and beaten before Cinder, the syndicate's leader. Bystanders watch in frozen horror as the war turns irrevocably dark. The public has forgotten their saviors, but the villains remember every slight.
