The Exiles

Shes lost so much already. But to pretend shes safe now could cost her even more.

Nothing could have prepared Nyssa Ardelone for the treachery that lurks inside Fortunes Fall. What began as a joyful reunion with her family soon plunges into chaos, with Nyssa at the center of misplaced accusations that could be catastrophic for everyone. Confused and still grief-stricken over the friends shes lost, Nyssa begins to question whether her journey to Fortunes Fall was worth the cost.

When she learns that President Omri has arrested the exiles and plans to send them to the most notorious prison in America, Nyssas convinced Omris punishing them for her sins, and she sinks into even deeper despair. But there might be a way to save them, and Nyssa jumps at the chance to remedy what she feels is her fault.

The task is dangerous, though, and if she fails, shell lose everything. If she succeeds, the people of Fortunes Fall will embrace her at last, and the path will open for their ultimate return to Maren—the home Omri stole from them fifteen years ago. With the help of family and a few unlikely allies, Nyssa sets out to make things right. But the stakes are higher than before, and her newfound faith has grown shaky. When the mission doesnt go as planned, Nyssa faces a choice unlike any shes ever had: press on despite her doubts, or give up and leave the exiles—and everyone she loves—to their fate.
