Ravenna is free. The army outside the settlement isn't going anywhere. And Fate's Dungeon just opened a door neither of them planned to walk through. Gabriel barely has time to celebrate freeing the competitive, arrogant, increasingly-hard-to-ignore winged high priestess before the Fae Islands remind him that victory is just the setup for the next problem. A small army is camped at his doorstep. And somewhere between the threat outside and the settlement that needs defending, Fate intervenes—pulling Gabriel and Ravenna into a dungeon neither of them chose. Inside: sidequests. Lions. Hucows.

The Fever struck hard and fast, rising out of the slums and claiming victim after victim. At first, reports trickled across the wire in small segments relegated to the final seconds of the broadcast news. Lost among stories of failing economies and political bickering, few noticed what proved to be the birth pangs of a monster. Within months, the disease dominated the news as thousands died and infection rates soared. William Hill knew his chances of avoiding the virus sat squarely between slim and none.

Kel Boon was once an agent of the land's most secret organization, tracking, observing, and eliminating the Strangers as part of an elite Core team.

The new, detached setting is teeming with "land mines"—highly unusual ones. Plenty of other, deadlier things would be happy to reach out and touch someone anywhere, be it the roof of a skyscraper or a subway tunnel deep underground. Tons of somnambulant extras could swing either way: cut your throat or help you, purely on a whim. Weapons are as deadly as they are improbable. Deliberately imposed multiple handicaps make any attempts at camouflage meaningless.
