The Mask Falling

"Paige Mahoney has eluded death again. Snatched from the jaws of
captivity and consigned to a safe house in the Scion Citadel of Paris,
she finds herself caught between those factions that seek Scion's
downfall and those who would kill to protect the Rephaim's puppet
empire.
The mysterious Domino Programme has plans for Paige, but
she has ambitions of her own in this new citadel. With Arcturus
Mesarthim - her former enemy - at her side, she embarks on an adventure
that will lead her from the catacombs of Paris to the glittering
hallways of Versailles. Her risks promise high reward: the Parisian
underworld could yield the means to escalate her rebellion to outright
war.
As Scion widens its bounds and the free world trembles in
its shadow, Paige must fight her own memories after her ordeal at the
hands of Scion. Meanwhile, she strives to understand her bond with
Arcturus, which grows stronger by the day. But there are those who know
the revolution began with them - and could end with them . . ." (bloomsbury.com)
