Landow. 1839. Centuries have passed since the village of Landow was plunged into chaos and bloodshed that nearly tore it apart. But time heals, as time does, and now Landow is a city thriving in the inexorable march of progress, with its people blissfully unaware of its past trauma. Late one summer afternoon, some youths find the body of an old man on the Carver Estate, though the corpse shocks them all by opening its eyes. Named Rip by his discoverers, this amnesiac man, with nothing to his name but pride, sets out to learn more about this new world, and the supposed "underground folk" he finds himself associated with.His investigation will unearth more than he bargained for, and the entire city may come crashing down before he has the chance to clear his name. In this thrilling continuation of the events of The Rose of Landow, familiar faces awaken to seasons unfamiliar, and they'll have to tread carefully, lest they fall into the Holes Under Landow.
