Binder

On an alternate earth, a cataclysm has altered a subset of the population. Talents are persecuted for their psychic and physical mutations, giving rise to two conflicting societies based upon maintaining genetic purity. And the Source, a shadowy corporate entity dependent upon the exploitation of captive Talents, is hunting them...

Flynn and Kara have made it to the north, but they're far from safe.



In the city of Glynfyls, the ruling body known as the Assembly has become ineffectual at best and treasonous at worst, leaving the Northern Territories ripe for invasion. Under the threat of blackmail, Flynn Scot is forced into a leadership position to combat the corruption and to protect his family. Titus is coming, and unless Flynn can convince the Assembly that the threat from the Source is real, every Talent in the North faces harvesting.

Meanwhile, Kara is floundering.

Thrown into a completely new environment, Talent Kara Jester questions her place in the North and everything else. Plagued by wedding preparations and without the ability to bind her resurfacing memories of trauma, she's a mess. Then, with the arrival of someone from her past, tensions skyrocket between her and Flynn.

And it's mirrored within the city.

After a string of grisly murders and abductions, Glynfyls is in turmoil. With the Original Houses playing games and setting their machinations above the common's safety, no one is free from recrimination and rumors abound. So do threats of civil unrest. And if Flynn can't find a way to get out from under his blackmailer's thumb and set things right, their fairytale wedding being planned amidst the madness won't end in a happily ever after.
