In the Afterlight

In In the Afterlight, the camps are freed, and Jacob, Susan, and Grams find Ruby as they still remember feeling love and concern for her from before. At the hospital, she returns their memories. After some confusion, her parents are protective of her from that point forward.

The Darkest Legacy

In The Darkest Legacy, Jacob was with Ruby at the park, when James Mercer attempted to kidnap her. Jacob was shot, but not fatally. He doesn't appear again in the book.
