When Washington, D.C. is destroyed by a nuclear blast that kills the president, a dissident faction of the Clan from an alternate universe joins forces with a faction of the U.S. government to seize political control. Meanwhile, the pregnant Queen Miriam and her Clan have no safe haven in the fractured United States. Their only hope lies in New Britain, the third alternate world where a recent revolution and its own nuclear incident have left the nation in turmoil. In this tense clash of worlds, politics, and survival, Miriam’s destiny—and the future of the Clan—rests on the unstable soil of a newly formed nation.
