Leyla has reunited with her father and rescued him from Broadmoor, the illegal government prison that held him captive--but not without a terrible cost. Now labeled as one of Britains most wanted terrorists, and separated from the boy she cares for, Leyla and her father must risk undocumented travel through unchartered waters if they wish to find refuge.

Across Britain, the fall out of Mr. McQueen's escape has escalated tensions between Anthropid and non-anthropoid communities, bringing them to an all time high. As Leyla and her friends grow closer to discovering the truth behind Anthropoids, she uncovers her own mysterious connection to the past and the truth behind her father's abduction.
