After narrowly escaping the sacrificial altar, Evelyn finds herself trapped in a labyrinth of tunnels deep underground. Lost, injured, and separated from her friends, she begins a new journey that will drag her into a conflict she hadn't known existed and force her to uncover hidden history. Choosing a path forward is clouded by trauma, heartbreak over a friend's death, and a desire for revenge. Her injuries in both body and soul force her to stay in her natural fox form while she heals — and making allies becomes a new challenge when you can't speak.
