THE BRIDGE AND THE BLADE — BOOK TWO: THE RED VEILThree months after the Battle of Meridian City, the scars still hum beneath the neon.Achilla Lavey swims every morning to remind herself she's still human — but the world she saved is changing again. In the ruins of The Scar, a cult called the Red Veil carves forbidden sigils into flesh and whispers that the Assembly's work isn't finished. When a murdered Remnant turns up marked with symbols that shouldn't exist, Division Zero calls Achilla back into the field.Haunted by the demon she exorcised and the bridge she burned, Achilla must descend into the city's fractured heart — where faith becomes infection, and the line between salvation and corruption is written in blood.The war for Meridian City isn't over. It's just wearing a new face.
