the Sully family journeys back inland accompanied by Ao’nung, Tsireya, and Rotxo. Deep within unfamiliar jungle territory, the group is ambushed by human forces and rescued by the elusive Zeswa’te Clan—a people whispered about in stories but rarely seen.

She is everything opposite of the world he knows: silent where he is social, feral where he is refined, dangerous in ways that feel impossible to predict.
