Our heroes are now separated, for good or ill. TJ traverses the vast tunnel called The Line, and discovers a danger lurking in its depths. Jake awakens in an unfamiliar place, and must figure out how to escape without the ability to speak. Tass warns the sailors of The Scoundrel’s Fortune of a possible danger as he inspects an otherwordly crate. Can the boys survive on their own, or will they learn how much they truly rely on each other?
