Evolution was only the beginning. The Reckoning comes next. Reeling from the loss of one of their own, Chris and the winged renegades are in hiding. Now they know the terrible truth about the Chead , the government is more determined than ever to silence them. And with an entire nation searching the skies, it’s only a matter of time before the noose snaps shut. Then Chris hears whispers of a rebel faction known only as the Mad Women. They aren’t your typical rebels, but bringing down an all-powerful regime was never going to be conventional. And the winged renegades are out of options. Meanwhile, something far worse is growing in the wild. The Chead are multiplying—and they haven’t forgotten what was done to them. It’s only a matter of time before they come for vengeance. When they do, Chris and the others won’t be the only ones fighting for survival.
