“Edinburgh. They’re being sent to Edinburgh. That must be where they’re connected to the core.” Eliza loosed a breath. “That’s it, Paige.”

The feeling in my heart wasn’t quite hope. It was hard to feel hope in a room filled with war machines, with danger closing in. I looked again at all the towers of crates, at the level of organization and preparation that Scion had attained over the years, while we had occupied ourselves with mime-crime and ignored the growing shadow.

There was only one way to stop it now.
