An immense sad eye staring at him through the chink of the curtains, an eye surrounded by a living whorl of flame that he had last seen engulfing poor Barney in the parking lot.

And before Crane's quest to unravel the secret of the Map Country was complete, the fate of two worlds would hang in the balance.
