After some threats, the Commander agrees to Logan’s demands.Īfter their confrontation with the Commander, Logan admits to Rachel he has been working on a plan to go search for Jared all along. When Rachel makes it clear to the Commander that she knows where the Rowansmark package is, but that she must go herself to recover it, Logan insists on going with her. Logan, who figured out Rachel’s plan too late to stop her, is also captured by the Commander’s guards. When Rachel confirms this, the Commander tells Rachel he wants the package. This leads the Commander to ask about a specific mission, the one before her father’s last, and whether he was given a package by someone in Rowansmark.

As the Commander interrogates Rachel, she tells him that she often went on missions with her father. Unfortunately, when Rachel attempts to cross the wall, she is captured by the Commander. For this reason, Rachel comes up with her own plan to escape Baalboden and go into the Wasteland to find her father. Rachel and Logan immediately clash when Rachel asks his help to find her father and he refuses. Rachel reluctantly moves into Logan’s cottage, saddened to leave behind the home she shared with her father. Rachel is angry, not only because she does not believe her dad is dead, but because she does not want to be stuck with a Protector so close to her own age, especially a young man she once declared her love to. At the reading of his will, Rachel learns that she has been given Logan McEntire as her Protector instead of the anticipated Oliver, a family friend. At the sixty day mark, Commander Jason Chase, leader of Baalboden, declares Jared Adams dead. Rachel Adams’ father, a courier in the city-state of Baalboden, has not returned from his last mission to the nearby city-state of Rowansmark. This causes for Rachel a storm of emotions, particularly since she once confessed her love to Logan and was rebuffed, but Logan soon becomes her only ally as Rachel becomes determined to escape Baalboden and find her missing father. After the disappearance of her father, Rachel is forced to accept as her Protector Logan McEntire, her father’s apprentice. Under the guise of keeping the civilians safe, Commander Jason Chase, has imposed massive restrictions on the people of Baalboden. The world's destruction was led by a military leader who, along with the members of his squad, managed to defeat the underworld creatures. Rachel, the daughter of a courier, lives in one of several city-states that rose in the destruction of the world.
