."I will place a curse on you, Jack Harkness: you will stay in Tortall for five hundred years, forbidden to wander the stars." So Shakith cursed him, and so in Tortall he remains. These are the stories of what happened after. Post The Spaces Between.

Tortall has no place for dead Immortals and Earth has no place for the dead, period. The gods are cruel and give no choices, but this time Jack and his new friends might get some help along the way. Sequel to Guardian of the Gates.

Daine and Numair find a man in the woods, mauled by a spidren. He keeps his secrets close; a year after CoE, Jack Harkness is still hurting and still running. But something is wrong in Tortall and somehow, Jack has found himself at the heart of it.
