In the last volume, Shuri was trapped in the petrified state known as the Living Death where her spirit was driven to The Djalia or the Wakanda plane of memory. While there she learned of Wakanda's past, present, and future from a Griot who took the form of her mother, Ramonda. Her real mother is in the hospital in ICU after an attack from a suicide bomber. T'Challa enhances Manifold's teleportation abilities in order to send them into the Djalia to rescue his sister which he does. She returns with Wakanda's collective knowledge and new abilities. Meanwhile, the faction known as The People led by Tetu and Zenzi is gaining ground. There is also the Dora Milaje, formerly the protective service to the crown who left to follow the Midnight Angels Ayo and Aneka who seek to protect the women and children of the country who have been abused and ignored. The two groups have yet to form an alliance but Tetu is trying to work on one.
T'Challa realizes that things cannot be done in the way that they have always been done in the past and that the government must change. The chants from his people that "No One Man" has hit home and he wants to set something up more representative of the people but first he must put down Tetu and deal with the Dora Milaje and keep them from joining forces. Shuri, the Queen decides to pay the Midnight Angels a special visit and lets them know in no uncertain terms that they will decimate them if they decided to join with Tetu. She also lets them know that Tetu will likely betray them and that they know this. Their only real logical step is to join with them and fight Tetu and face whatever consequences there might be for their actions afterward.
T'Challa finds himself talking to Changamire, the teacher whose teachings sparked this revolution in the first place and seeking counsel and his help. For he will need it with the battle coming ahead. Zenzi has control of the men's emotions and she has brought out their fears and anger in order to make them better fighters. Her and Tetu care less about the men under them, only winning. The battle will be tough and the aftermath even tougher. This volume heightens what the other two have been building up to. At the end is included bits from New Avengers #18, 21,24 which involve T'Challa and Shuri as they try and keep Wakanda from becoming a city of the dead after it has been attacked. This book is a good close to an excellent and complex storyline that I have enjoyed immensely.
