    Summary

    The sun rises the morning after the end of the universe.

    Catra is there to watch it happen, perched atop a shiny palace roof overlooking the newly thriving fields and forests of Brightmoon. It's perfect- or it should be. She's safe now, free from the horrors of her old life and the person she once was. But even love- a love that liberated galaxies from perpetual suffering- may not be enough to save her from the darkness within her.

    Adora witnesses this only from the shadows. Catra needs time and space to heal- still, her helplessness grows as she watches Catra suffer in silence, holding close secrets that Adora wants only to bear herself. And as a growing sense of evil stretches across Etheria and her friends face a new danger that even she cannot combat, she begins to question the worthiness of her very existence. If she cannot save the very lives that matter most, is she really a savior at all?

    Beyond the reaches of them both, an old force threatens to return. There are cracks in the seemingly perfect facade, an eerie breeze in the night that can't be ignored.

    Sometimes the things you thought to be dead and buried are given a second chance, returning from the grave more powerful than before.
