Deka, Sonjaa, and Kylac wake up in another universe. To tame a fox's old ways when that fox is aware of the entire universe as scenting distance, they'll have to leave this one, too. And the next. And the next. The space between realities is still a mystery, and they have plenty of time to figure it out. Time passes back home. Human civilization is going through the final centuries before society collapses, and the Krone are watching, waiting, helping events run their course. It's time to finish what they started.
