When the old order fractures, the city combusts — and everyone must choose a side. Fabletown’s brittle peace breaks open. Behind gilded doors, backroom bargains and brittle egos collide; outside, a ragged army answers with fire and teeth. The smoke reaches the prison, where an unlikely insurrection floods the corridors and a man long boxed by fate finds himself running for a city that’s already changing shape. Politics meet pyres, alliances shift like ash, and small sanctuaries try to hold a child safe while the streets remap themselves in blood and slogans.
