Betrayal and Retaliation.
Elizabeth Whitfield is abandoned by the capital and forced to survive beyond the southern trench, where betrayal and captivity strip her of every certainty she once held. What begins as endurance soon becomes purpose, as she rises from prisoner to leader and prepares to return to the lands that left her to die.
Her march north is more than a journey; it is a confrontation with the legacy she carries and the power that seeks to erase it. The Divide follows Elizabeth as she navigates shifting loyalties, makes alliances under pressure, and steps toward the reckoning that will determine who controls the future of Eurussia.
