When Doreen McKenzie returned from Alfheimr, she hoped her problems were over. She was wrong. Being beaten up and left for dead was only the start of her troubles. Alone and scared, not knowing where to turn, or to who, she finds a... somewhat unfortunate 'solution'. She also finds love. Or does she? After all, it's not easy when the object of your affections is utterly clueless as to how you feel and you're too scared to tell her. If she can get out of the trap she's fallen into, admit her feelings, and survive the politics of the Returned, then maybe, just maybe, she has a chance."
