Jeanne's tragic story comes to an end, and the repercussions caused by Annie, Kat and the gang will have long-reaching consequences that plunge Gunnerkrigg Court into a terrifying new chapter of its history. Coyote's strange plans introduce Loup, a forcefully bubbly creature who is quicker to anger than Ysengrin and more cunning than Coyote, and has his own tricks up his sleeve! Even though it's felt like just a few hours, Annie's been gone for six months, and much has happened in her absence: every routine and living situation in the Court is different; Kat's work in creating bodies for the robots has progressed at an alarming rate; and to top it all off, she finds an imposter imitating her, wielding her fire power and building the relationship she's always wanted with her father. Rather than rally around Annie, her loved ones question whether she is the imposter. Stranger things have happened at Gunnerkrigg Court, after all.
