In Gateway terminology, a "Code Yellow" signifies a missing person. King Troels plans to hide in Yggdrasil, the sacred Viking Tree, so the Recorder cannot summon him.

But forty-one years of suppressed fury is about to burst out of Niki McKnight after the Vikings' treatment of Rollo. Her lava-hot rage and desire for justice on behalf of all the women who filed petitions against the former King, sets our key characters off on a new path.

The resulting power struggles in Viking bring new faces and fresh problems into the Gateway but Dola and Finn have their own issues.

The stakes are heightened further during the inaugural meeting of Breanna's hilariously unconventional royal book club, while Aysha faces an unexpected predicament with Autumn.

In Code Yellow in Gretna Green, Niki discovers what happens when a furious Recorder is pushed too far and heads into Angry Town.
