The Broken Lands are new to both Sophia and Dav, but they’re starting to find their way. The Guide seems less and less like the Voice Sophia is used to, but they’ve finally managed to figure out how people manage: by working together and sharing information. They’ve even made a friend, Amy Hunter, who is leading them to her home. So far, this has been the adventure Sophia was looking for, even if she’s still not sure how to get home. That’s fine; she doesn’t need to yet.

They’ve turned one former bandit to their side and killed another. There’s one more bandit out there, but after dealing with the Hungering Spark, Sophia and Dav feel confident in moving on. Taika is certain the walking jellyfish is following them, but doubts he will ever catch up.

They aren’t aware of just how much attention they’ve drawn. Several powerful individuals have their eyes on Sophia and Dav, all with different reasons and different goals. The Wanderer wants them to be happy more than he wants them to fulfill his plans, but that isn’t true of everyone watching the duo that is now a quartet.

Many things await them in the Skylands, not least of which is Amy’s past and family.
