Death of a King

Katherine did not want to return to the Institute. The monolithic establishment- born from dead Gods and mandated to protect humankind- is broken. It is also a painful reminder of her dead girlfriend. But old enemies have resurfaced, and Institute strongholds around the world are falling under vicious attacks from beasts and faceless armies. She has no choice but to return to fight alongside her family, even though something inside her is certain this is a battle they're going to lose. Snow cannot seem to stay dead. She has died four times now and every time she wakes from the dead her memories are more fractured than before. She knows that, unless she finds a cure to this singular curse, her mind will be lost to her forever. Getting pulled into a secret war was never her plan, but while the world of the Institute may seem strange, it is more familiar than it seems. Katherine and Snow are inextricably linked by the history of the Institute, and when they discover that Snow may be the key to winning the war, the two women will have to trust each other in order to survive.
