Jack's promise to Glaeken no longer binds him. His enemy Rasalom schemes to destroy the Lady for the third and final time, opening reality to the Otherness. Jack notices his body healing faster than normal, just like Glaeken did during his immortal years. This means Glaeken approaches death and Jack will inherit his role. Ernst Drexler, once Rasalom's loyal supporter, now fears abandonment when the Change arrives. He offers Jack an unlikely partnership against their shared enemy. Meanwhile, Dawn Pickering follows clues about her supposedly dead infant to a mansion on Long Island's remote coast. What she uncovers there defies everything she believed possible. Jack knows he gets only one chance to strike at Rasalom. His mission extends beyond eliminating his foe. He must rescue Dawn's child and protect innocent lives. Jack devises what seems like a perfect strategy, but perfection rarely survives contact with reality.
