[The Protectorate 04] • United

"We will stand with you, Ella…"

For Ella and Theo, the happiest moment of their life is quickly overshadowed by the mounting danger posed by the Protectorate. 

Ella may have survived the attack by a new breed of Defectives, but she is only just beginning to understand the implications of that attack. 

Whether Theo and Ella like it or not, they are at war now, and already they fear they are on the losing side.

Now Theo must make ready the Freedom Fighters while Ella is sent on an errand to intercept possibly their only key to success. 

Theo will have to battle his own demons as he comes to terms with the power-hungry machine that is his father. That is if he survives his first encounter with this new kind of monster.

With the key to their survival in hand, Ella begins to see that her closely held secret might be the only way to win the war. 

Ella knows well what Ursula will do with such information. Sacrificing Ella's safety -and possibly life- is worth it, if it means an end to the medical testing on unwilling participants. 

As much as she wants to destroy the mysterious lab, she also knows her innocent younger sister is just as trapped inside those walls. 

Can she bring down the Protectorate, the medical labs, and all the evil within while still finding a way to get Beaunca out? **

With enemies closing in from every direction, can Theo and Ella hope to see the fall of the Protectorate? **

Worst of all, what will become of the nation if left in Ursula's hands?
