Publisher’s description

The shocking conclusion of the previous arc has altered forever the face of the Dreaming, bringing with it a time of reflection and a sad celebration. It's a wake in which friends and loved ones, relatives and rivals, fleeting lovers and immortal enemies gather to pay their respects and to mourn their loss.
