Previously, Alana, a person from Landfall, and Marko, a person from the moon Wreath, whose worlds have been fighting for as long as anyone can remember, travel through the Rocketship Forest with their newborn, Hazel. There they meet a specter named Izabel who agrees to be the child's babysitter and to help them find the rocketship tree hidden in the forest. They are being chased by a Freelancer, The Stalk, who is killed. But there are others who seek them to kill them and take Hazel including Freelancer The Will and Prince IV. They find the tree rocketship and blast off into space heading toward the author of their favorite book.
Alana and Marko make a stop at his parent's house and they aren't too happy to see Alana. His mother banishes Izabel, which pisses off Alana and Marko, so Marko and his mother head out to wherever it is she got sent to to rescue her. Alana and Marko's father get to know each other and she finds out that he does not have long to live but does not want anyone else to know.
Meanwhile, The Will has been trying to buy the freedom of a sex slave child at a whorehouse he went to because he just couldn't leave her there. Gwendolyn, Marko's ex-fiance and the Wreath representative who have hired the Freelancers, shows up to find out what his deal is. She fixes the problem and they blast off in search of Marko and Alana. The Will is a great character with his cat that can tell if you lie. You can't help but root for him while hoping that he changes his mind about killing Alana and Marko. Marko's father is another great character. He's a good man who creates magic on a sewing machine and cares deeply for his granddaughter. You also get to see the progression of Alana and Marko's relationship through flashbacks from the beginning which is interesting and sweet. This book is a worthy sequel to the first comic. It ends on a cliffhanger so I am eager to get my hands on the next book to see what awaits this bizarre group of people.
