Letje takes control of The Commorancy and immediately realizes she is out of her depth. Luckily she has help, albeit of the rather odd, and somewhat unexpected kind. Years pass, but as she finally begins to learn the secrets of her new home everything begins to unravel. Timelines become twisted, life loses its focus, and dreams of butterflies threaten to overcome reality. There is something else -- a man, hiding in the shadows, playing with lives that are more precious with each passing year. Bird perches on Letje's ruined shoulder, steel-hard talons digging deeply into the scar tissue, once more amused by the games of man. His family grows. One will Awaken.
