Someone is out to kill Ramses O'Flaherty -- and whoever they are, they should be here. A killer called this home, but it isn't any kind of home Juno's ever seen before. This is a place where the impossible happens, where an ancient heroine walks the streets, where dragons live on every mountaintop... and where nothing is ever as it seems.
Welcome to Polaris Park.
And welcome to the Penumbra, dear Traveler. We hope you enjoy your journey.
