The sequel to Violet Black and Black Wolf.

THE SUSPENSE-FILLED CONCLUSION TO THE BLACK SPIRAL TRILOGY

Violet and Johnno have escaped the Foundation’s compounds. Reunited, they need somewhere safe for the three of them to hide: Violet, Johnno and their unborn child.

Beat. Heartbeat. One, two, three. I only just became aware of the third today, just another complication in an impossible situation.

The Foundation are particularly keen to get their hands on the baby. Is freedom an impossible dream?
