Everything the slingers think they know begins to crumble when the impossible happens again and again, and Alana Caelum is realizing the world is much bigger and more complicated than she ever could have imagined. Her past is catching up with her just as fast as her future is crumbling, and new threats are rising from within the 99 Caverns and beyond. [Takes place during Ghoul From Beyond and Return of the Elementals, and after the fanfiction 'Take Back the Light.']
