Three years after a heartbreaking defeat, Maggie’s world is unrecognizable. She’s gone underground to hide from Mordecai. Her career as a journalist is over. She’s scrubbing toilets in a seedy hotel just to make ends meet.

Maggie, Ping, and Alex are fighting from the shadows, but Maggie can’t escape the wounds of her past. When she receives a message from Tripp, she puts a dangerous plan into motion. The mission could thwart Mordecai’s global ambitions and stop the spread of bots.
But when Maggie gets a visit from a mysterious stranger, her entire world is turned upside down. Overnight she becomes the most hunted woman alive and learns a shocking truth.
