Marinette's mission was simple: help Tikki. But when she uncovers explosive secrets long buried by the rulers of Paris, her entire world tilts. Betrayed and torn, Marinette faces a harrowing choice—save herself or risk it all for the city that has taken everything from her.
Adrien's quest for revenge for his mother's mysterious death takes a dark turn when he discovers the true mastermind behind the tragedy. Determined to make them pay, Adrien realizes that to achieve his goal he must play the long game.
As both fight their own battles, Marinette and Adrien find their paths entwined, often at odds. If they could only align their goals, they might find a way to change the course of their city's future and maybe theirs too.
