The hero Abyss continues to explore possible futures and uncovers the hidden past of Diana and the Pharaoh. Then he eventually confronts the plots and schemes of the Brotherhood of Clerics.
Abyss and Diana continue to explore possible futures, all the while trying to avoid the plots and schemes of Melosh and the Brotherhood of Clerics. The fallen hero, Friedrich Drake, yearns for redemption, while glimpses of Diana and the Pharaoh's past show up within the boy's dreams. Endlessly strange and awkward things continue to fall upon the young hero and immortal huntress.
Happy endings seem unlikely, if not impossible with Abyss' future selves seeming to either live selfishly and hedonistically or fall into rigid dogma and routine. In the meantime, the cold and beautiful Charlene of the High Tide comes to assist Abyss in his quest for power. Simon Williams, supposedly banished from the magical world after his loss in the Coliseum, has now returned to stabilize the chaos space-time is falling into. And amongst the aliens experimenting and observing, it seems difficult for the human condition to be improved, let alone redeemed.
Remaining heroic and dignified in the face of the problems of mortality and odd moralities, Abyss and Diana face off against both nihilism and dogma as they continue their epic adventure.
