\\u201cAsk me to talk about history and politics and you\\u2019ll be stuck for hours; ask me about the forces that shape our world and my tongue is still. I place my faith in others interpretations and what they say happened - a new Remnant awoke in Embrace that day.\\u201d

\\n

As alarms wail and the barricades are overrun, Winter\'s Lodge and the secrets it holds are under threat from all sides. With the nim Shifs closing in and the Death\'s Defiant on the doorstep, the splintered Jubilant Maybe cling desperately to their tasks. As the pressure rises, they can only hope against hope that they\'re doing the right thing. 

\\n

Neah closes a trap, Oken finds his duty, and Ivar and Ezra try to keep themselves together.
