Descrição
人類死後成為靈魂,流連於世界各處,「靈視者」能與靈魂相連,遭受政府嚴格控管。然而,不僅政府會將捕捉到的靈視者進貢給利菲特族,靈視者中更不乏叛徒,將誘拐而來同袍悄悄奉獻給利菲特族,以保己身安穩。
透過奧古雷斯的悉心指導,佩姬克服了靈魂離體的痛楚。在玫瑰擂臺的大亂鬥中,佩姬與傑克森同心協力,擊敗所有挑戰者,並在最後一刻成功控制住傑克森,使其黯然下臺,佩姬成為眾幫派之首「闇后」。
勝利的喜悅並未延續太久。賽昂政府誘使佩姬自投羅網,她這才發現:原來,早在二十年前的「骸骨季節」時,傑克森便已與利菲特族族長奈希拉勾結,出賣意圖幫助人類的奧古雷斯,並和政府聯手!
擁護傑克森為闇帝的勢力頻頻挑釁佩姬轄下的「冥寂之軍」,而賽昂為全面捕殺靈視者所推出的新型武器更使靈視者必無可避。腹背受敵之下,佩姬的闇后之位越來越岌岌可危……

Ver Todosthe beginning of the book was quite slow, and the rebellion seemed to be stalling at every turn. I was not quite sure if Paige was going to be able to live up to everyone's expectations (Warden, TereBell, the Syndicate. Even her own expectations)but by the end of this book, I could see how Ms Shannon was just building up the foundation for Paige to grow from, and she has been through some stuff any normal character would have buckled under.I've been engrossed in this world, it's got enough world building, lore and plot twists to keep my brain engaged and focused on Paige's tribulations rather than mine.I've reserved the next book's from the library, so hopefully I can jump back into the world of Scion as soon I get back from Auckland.
