bound by his promise to glaeken jack has refrained from making any direct moves against rasalom but things have changed so theres nothing holding jack in check any longer other changes are occurring as well jack is healing at an accelerated ratemuch like glaeken did when he was immortal this can only mean that glaekens time is almost up and when he dies jack takes his place rasalom continues to plot against the lady twice she has died and returned a third time and she will be gone leaving a clear path for the otherness to infiltrate this reality but ernst drexler formerly rasaloms goto guy for logistical support fears he will be left out in the cold when the change comes he forms an uneasy alliance with jack who is preparing to face their old enemy meanwhile dawn pickering is searching for her supposedly dead baby the trail leads her to a mansion in a remote long island coastal town where she discovers a truth she could have never imagined now the stage is set for jacks massive assault on rasalom jack knows hes got just one shot but its not just a matter of taking out rasalom he also must safely retrieve dawns child and minimize collateral damage so he comes up with a foolproof plan but fools are always with us
