As each House tries to seize possession of the cave and gain more power, the nation is thrown into a horrific civil war. Ethnic inequality and class discrimination are brought to the surface, as Meteoran citizens protest against the government and the Houses, wondering if a revolution is truly possible.Nolly Darling, the long-lost daughter of Ariadne, begins her search for the truth amidst this web of secrets, lies, and injustices spanning Meteora's entire history.
