Rhona Long is no one’s commander anymore. Out in the cold after a rescue mission gone wrong, Rhona moves forward with her own desperate strategy to stop the machines - only now she must do it without the resources of McKinley base, currently occupied by a hostile power. But when Rhona encounters a group of machine reformers and learns a devastating truth about the higher echelon’s endgame, she must decide whether to finish what her predecessor started by destroying the brilliant artificial life con-trolling the machines - or do the unthinkable by saving it.

Commander Rhona Long understands survival better than most. Killed in combat by a malevolent artificial intelligence, she was brought back to life using her DNA, and she’s forged a new, even more powerful identity. Now the leader of the resistance, she’s determined to ensure the machines are shut down for good. But victory is elusive. The machines have a new technology designed to overcome humanity’s most advanced weaponry.

Rhona has battled the malevolent AI intent on wiping out humanity since the first Machinations began - until she’s killed during a rescue mission gone wrong. Now, Rhona awakens to find herself transported to a new body, complete with her DNA and her personality. She's a clone...of herself. Except for her missing memories. Some of which could potentially turn the tide of the war.

For seven years, I fought monsters and nightmares across the continent as one of the kingdom’s last war wizards, forged in fire and blood. I’ve buried comrades, burned enemies to ash, and become something feared by both man and beast. Now at last, I’m going home. Back to my family. Back to a promise I swore I’d keep. But the town I left behind didn’t survive the war unscathed. A dark shadow has fallen over it, threatening to destroy anyone that stands in its way.

There’s trouble in the borderlands, and I’m the only one that can stop it. I’ve done my best to rebuild my home in the little town of West Hollow, settling down with Serena and Lynnette.

To stop them, I’m going to have to ally with a gorgeous witch who still wants me dead, even if that means breaking with the kingdom and carving our own path. A man has to make his own way. This one is mine.
