The Vex are a monstrous swarm—man-eaters feared across the world and killed on sight before they can grow and consume everything in their path. Rythica is one such monster: a hive queen whose egg was smuggled into a human city and raised in secret by unlikely guardians. Grown up without ever meeting another Vex, Rythica wages a constant internal war as brutal alien instincts clash with the politics, strategy, and mercy she has been taught. As she approaches maturity, the world can only hope that compassion is something that can be learned—because a Vex never forgives and never forgets.
