And they're back! Because you don't walk away from a job you've been assigned. And not since the weird one.
When H, an associate of Jacob's grandfather Abe Portman, was dying, he gave Jacob the task of transporting a newly contacted member of the strange Noor Pradesh family to the safety provided by the undercover agent V. He also confided in him that Noor is related to an ancient prophecy about seven emancipators who will save the world of the strange from an impending apocalypse. If he can save Noor Pradesh, he will save the world of the weird. No one is more intent on its destruction than the creatures. And although the vast majority of them died in the destruction of the Library of Souls, the worst of them survived. Some of them are prisoners, but at the beginning of the new continuation of the story of the strange ones they manage to escape from the dungeon. On the run, they also free the monster that powered the Panloopticon... The whole situation is complicated by the feuding American clans of the strange ones, between whom war is looming, which the ymbryns are trying their best to prevent. America's loops hide danger and uncertainty at every turn. Where to jump first?
To make matters worse, V is the most mysterious and powerful of Abe's former companions, hiding out and doing everything she can to avoid being found. Jacob's in for a rough ride. Time is ticking mercilessly as Jacob and his friends try to decipher the prophecy and get to the bottom of the matter.
With enemies breathing down Jacob's neck and the great unknown looming ahead... Will he succeed this time?
