Weeks after the disastrous mission beyond the walls, things aren’t the same in the fifth ward. As conflict between Delilah and Cynthia worsens, tension grows among the people. Attacks on the fifth ward bring panic and unease to the people, and when the wall itself comes under fire, it leaves the district in chaos as Rina finds herself in danger.
Aiding the military again, Rina ventures into the sixth ward to repair the wall while Marco remains in the fifth, offering help and supplies to those affected by Delilah’s acts of sabotage. Attacks from those loyal to her are constant, but they aren’t the only danger to the district. Outside the walls in the heart of the wasteland, Colton discovers disturbing signs of mutant activity, promising danger to everyone.
With change on the horizon, Rina is forced to examine her life in the fifth and the future ahead of her.
