Why do its servants; the old Gods of our world, take such interest in this child? One beguiles her, one helps her, one hunts her. </p> <p>What of Rob Hemmersley? Alone, driven insane after entering the Land. Turned into a vicious creature obsessed with taking retribution on the children who he blames for his misfortune? </p> <p>The Land watches dispassionately. The children will either survive or not. If they do they will never be the same, especially Anja; manipulated, terrified, enhanced with power she cannot control. If she survives she could become its most powerful servant. To what end: A child considering her humanity.</p>
