Meanwhile, Vignette Stonemoss (Cara Delevingne, "Paper Towns," 2015) and the Black Raven (Anna Skladchikova, "Munich Games") plot payback for the unjust oppression inflict- ed by The Burgue's human leaders, Jonah Breakspear (Arty Froushan, "House of the Dragon") and Sophie Longerbane (Caroline Ford, "Free Rein"). With humans and fae folk divided and freedom on the line, each hero faces challenges like they've never seen before.
