The Song Rising

Newly crowned as Underqueen, Paige Mahoney has a great deal to worry about: Jaxon, who has revealed himself as a traitor, has vowed vengeance against her. Scion has stepped up its hunt for "unnaturals"—deploying the new technology Senshield throughout the city, meaning that voyants can be automatically detected. She must also maintain her tenuous alliance with the Ranthen—the Rephaim opposing the Sargas, as the Emim, immortal enemies of the Rephaim, begin to appear in London. Her quest to fight back against Scion takes her out of London, to the Scion bastions of Manchester and Edinburgh, and by the end of the story, it seems her journey will take her further still. Readers get more insight into the characters of the Seven Seals, Paige's "gang", while her relationship with Warden seems to be ever more elusive.
