    Summary

    "The mission was not Max's idea... I mean infiltrate what? Max didn't know about the inner workings of the Familiars... I did. Because they took me in. Fed me. Loved me, I guess."
    - Jondy, Prologue to Act One, Part One.

    FINISHED - refresh complete.

    Jondy is missing.

    Max reluctantly works with the man she hates, while Jondy - 452's secret weapon - walks the razor's edge between the Cult and the resistance. Undercover. Raised by the Familiars. Made by Manticore. Is she Freak or Familiar?

    Separated from Zane by war - her husband forced back under Lydecker's command - she must fight the Coming to save both of her families. What are the runes? Who is Sandeman? What's Lydecker's long game? Will they ever win their freedom?

    Post-FN. S3-ish. AU elements. Adult themes. Jondy/Zane. Max's relationships remain canon-characterised.
