When a stranger is caught on the border and he is brought to Talin, she thinks that there is a chance of winning the war as well. If the young man has the correct information then the Federation can be defeated. However, there is also a threat that the man could be a spy sent by the enemies. Talin decided to take that risk because there is no other way for her, only her trust in this new fellow can make her win or lose the war.
Legend and Champion told us how heroes evolve and how the legends rise and fall. Here we see the preparation of the ultimate sacrifice which tells everyone about the heart of gold that Talin possesses. Marie Lu creates such characters who are gifted with unthinkable power and courage. As for the narrator, Natalie Naudus can never be replaced in this series because her voice is exact for Talin.
