The Nevers

Amalia True and Penance Adair work to protect their kind from widespread, deepening antipathy. Meanwhile, police inspector Frank Mundi investigates a string of murders at the hands of a reportedly "Touched" and highly dangerous serial killer named Maladie.

With the city reeling from Maladie's opera debut, Mundi and Amalia take a personal stake in tracking her down. Meanwhile, the charitable Lavinia Bidlow seeks to destigmatise the "Touched" at a society event. Elsewhere, a deranged doctor conducts a series of experiments.

Hoping to expand the Orphanage's reach, Amalia recruits an unlikely ally. Penance creates an amplifier to spread Mary's hope-inspiring song across the city. Swann further entangles Augie and Mundi in his business affairs.

While Mundi seeks justice, Amalia and her most trusted advisors make a list of potential enemies. Harriet, Primrose, and the other Orphans attempt to decipher a message. Later, Amalia exposes an unexpected threat.

As the city buzzes with anticipation over a pending execution, Penance grapples with a moral calling at odds with Amalia's plan. With the two women at a crossroads, the Orphans must decide whom to follow.

After Amalia's origin story is revealed, a long-awaited reunion crystallises the Orphans' mission.
