Danyal, the Shaman who oversees the Asylum, is intrigued by Lee's ravings about Bridges and Landscapers and wizards. As Lee's body and mind improve, his words begin to make a terrible kind of sense - giving Danyal and Zhahar a glimpse of a world unlike anything they have seen. then Vision comes under threat from an unknown enemy ...
