Max begins to develop strange markings on her body while leading a transgenic resistance against White, when he attempts to capture one of her "brothers". However, the transgenics are stunned by revealed secrets about their "father" that threaten all that they believe and stir up many more questions.

  • Title: Love Among The Runes

    This is a reference to "Love Among the Ruins", the title of a number of things: a 1975 movie starring Katherine Hepburn and Laurence Olivier, a 1999 album by 10,000 Maniacs, or the title of a 1855 poem by Robert Browning. edit »
