In the previous comic, Alana, Marcus, Izabel, the spirit, Marcus's mother, Klara, and baby Hazel land on Quietus where D. Oswald Heist the author lives and find a broken-down drunk who isn't all that interested in seeing them at first until he realizes that they really got his work. Quietus is anti-Wreath and he quickly gets them inside his lighthouse home. Heist and Klara bond over being on different sides of a battle and losing loved ones. The Will is seeing his dead ex-girlfriend Stalk who is telling him to stay on the planet and convince the others to stay as well. The four are waiting on people from Wreath to come and fix the ship, but until then they are stuck on this weird planet. The Will hits on Gwendolyn and gets slapped down on the ground. Other odd things begin to happen. Meanwhile, two reporters are looking into the story of Alana and Marco and the official version of her being kidnapped by him that isn't holding up to them the tabloids. But it will prove to be pretty dangerous to go forward with this story. Prince IV is heading toward Quietus and worried about his pregnant wife. Prince IV doesn't get them on Quietus and the author dies trying to save them. The Will also dies sortof by protecting Gwendyln and the girl.
This book opens up with Prince IV's wife giving birth to a son with no idea where he is. After the debacle on Quietus, he went and found a hovel of a bar to go and drink himself silly forgetting his wife completely. Meanwhile, Alana got a job on the Circuit acting for those across the Universe while Marko stays home and watches the child along with his mother and the ghost. He signs her up for private dancing lessons with a woman who hits on Marko who wears a disguise when he leaves the tree. And Alana starts taking drugs to deal with the rotten job she has and is still high when she comes home to take care of the child.
Someone is asking after The Will and Prince IV finds out about his son and seems to snap out of whatever fugue state he's been in. Someone is coming after Alana and Marko. They are never safe. This book shows how the stress of being on the run is affecting the couple with both of them wanting to escape, Alana to drugs and Marko to the arms of another woman. Neither feels as though the other understands what the other is having to do and sacrifice for the endeavor. The next book should be interesting as they find out if it's worth it. I give this book five out of five stars.
