Description

As much as things change, generational layers of deception will always remain the same...

While they may have physically survived Georgia's Red Room two years prior, a permanent rift has been driven through the Washington family. Sevii defects from Belle Âme to live with Edwin, Moira, and their children, while Blythe struggles to make ends meet for the remaining Belle Âme residents.

Jaxyn takes her sleuthing to a new level, working beside Reaper Blackthorn to track down the mysterious Gwendolin Washington on behalf of her father. Reaper grows concerned with Jaxyn's escalating power-hunger and aggression, but Nathalian encourages Jaxyn to do whatever it takes to finally put the Gwen/Georgia/Sienna saga to rest.

Edwin remains bitter over the entire situation, seldom speaking to Nathalian and refusing to see him in person. When Reaper informs Edwin of a risky procedure that would restore his mobility...for a cost, Moira is adamant that he turn down the offer. With Reaper encouraging him to accept and reminding him of all that he has lost, Edwin is forced to make a decision that will impact his life forever.
