and save the Drift from dying. But where is he? Nin finds her way to
Dark's mansion – a strange castle with a garden and lake spilling into
the sky. There she finds a ribbon of shadowy light: could this be the
unsaid spell and the clue to unlocking the mystery of Simeon Dark?
Meanwhile, Strood is preparing his distillation machine, his pet tigers
and some barrels of blood and is coming after her...
