   Summary

   What if the intervention at beginning of ACOSF went a little differently?

   Nesta doesn’t know how long it has been since she was abandoned at the Respite, only that she has not seen her sisters nor her... Cassian for what feels like an eternity. When Azriel learns the extent of Nesta’s isolation, he knows he needs to rescue his sister. But as unrest is growing in Prythian and beyond, will he be able to rescue her from herself, or will it all be too little too late?

   An alternate telling of ACOSF from multiple perspectives focusing on Nesta's journey to healing.
