Griffin introduces Robin to Hermes, a secret network that wants to redistribute Babel's magical silver to resistance movements around the world. Suddenly, the beautiful system of translation magic is revealed as a tool of empire. Robin is torn: stay safe within Babel's walls or risk everything for a cause he barely understands?
