Mount Steele is now Emma's only hope of saving Thomas Dawson from the White House-and finding answers to every question she's had since enrolling at the Callistro Academy. With Alejandro's help, the Ateras and Jak travel to Bouchard Base in the Yukon, narrowly escaping the US Government's relentless hunt.
Safety finally seems within reach upon arriving and meeting the kind residents of Bouchard. That is, until the base's double agents uncover fragments of President Caldwell's plans suggesting an overnight national purge. His key to carrying it out? Emma and her allies.
With Caldwell's war brewing on the American horizon, Caralyn Callistro may actually be the key to his downfall... and her secrets are right there at Bouchard. Now Emma and her friends must somehow persuade their next ally to help and reveal every last one of Caralyn's secrets before Bouchard-and Emma's country-go up in flames.
