The epic struggle between the Circle Eldership and the Bands Namuh continues. It has been three years since Dara and the bands raided the inner sanctum of the seventh elder and rescued the Namuh in its chamber of horrors.  In doing so, they  exposed the Circle Eldership’s deepest secret.

Word spread from one Circle complex to the next. The Luza Plague which had held them in bondage for so long, was a fabrication.  The Namuh were normal infants, selected for their eye color; then surgically altered both body and brain to produce a fictitious species used as slaves by the Eldership.

Deserters from the Circle populations are trickling in to join the bands, but far fewer than the bands need to sustain the fight.  In response to these desertions, the Senior Seventh Elder, Fo-Dertah along with his fanatical, psychopathic ,acolyte Traehlive have unleashed a weaponized ,savage version of the Namuh.  Ferals!
The Ferals, only marginally  controlled by the Circle Black Watchers, are engineered with an unquenchable desire to kill and devour flesh.  They wreak havoc on the Circle population,  eroding  the fledgling revolution as the Eldership convinces the people the Ferals are freed, renegade Namuh; who have reverted back to their savage ancestry.

Dara and her friends struggle to find a solution to the problem of the Ferals; free the remaining NamuH and end the scourge of the Circle. At the same time, Traehlive launches a  diabolical plan to annihilate the Bands; exact his revenge upon Dara and secure the position of Senior Elder for himself.  A final battle is looming and only one group will survive.
