The Crux Attack on Ellder

A massive female crux descends on Ellder's courtyard during King Ramsey's arrival, slaughtering soldiers and civilians including Jocelyn and Luella, while Ransom battles it futilely and Zavier is fatally wounded protecting Odessa from Banner.

Outcome

Luella is killed, Zavier is mortally wounded, Odessa kills Banner in self-defense, and Ransom sacrifices himself to enable Odessa and Evie's escape through hidden tunnels.
