Months after the rediscovery of Library Zero, Kaia Mori has become the face of a revolution she never asked to lead. The MRB now brands books as verbal weapons, and every step Kaia takes is monitored by the Citadel's tightening grip. When a rescue mission goes catastrophically wrong, Kaia narrowly escapes a deadly trap set by Commander Hurst—thanks only to Dojo, her enigmatic mentor whose past is darker than she ever imagined.
But the Citadel has unveiled something far more terrifying than censorship: a mind-control device capable of rewriting truth itself.
As Kaia rises within the rebellion, she discovers fractures forming beneath its surface. Allies make compromises that feel like betrayals. Her childhood friend Yuki is secretly negotiating with corrupt Citadel factions. And Kaia is forced to confront a devastating question—if memory can be manipulated, what does freedom even mean?
Determined to stop the Citadel's new weapon at its source, Kaia leads a perilous infiltration of Central Command. What she finds there shatters her: rebels stripped of their identities, loyalties twisted, and Dojo's own history entangled in the Citadel's experiments. When Yuki's secrets explode at the worst possible moment, Kaia must choose between vengeance, forgiveness, and the survival of the rebellion itself.
In a final, explosive showdown, Kaia destroys the mind-control device—but the victory comes at a heartbreaking cost. Dojo is captured, and Kaia returns to the rebellion hailed as a hero yet haunted by the one person she couldn't save.
Now, with the Citadel preparing its retaliation, Kaia must forge her own path as a leader—one defined not by symbols or expectations, but by the sacrifices she's willing to make. And she will stop at nothing to bring Dojo home.
A gripping dystopian saga of resistance, betrayal, and the power of memory, this installment propels Kaia Mori into her most dangerous battle yet—one that will decide the fate of truth itself.
