Meanwhile, in order for Alexander to complete the task charged to him—finding and bringing Tristan back to stand trial for his crimes—and find out more about the nosferatu-Juliet alliance, he must boldly do what no spectral knight has ever done before: borrow nosferatu skin to sneak into the warrens.

While those events are unfolding, Charles calls in a favor from Nancy, breaking more than ten years of radio silence to ask her help, but she has a cryptic vision, one that intrigues and frightens her, for in its symbolism is a darker message: lurking within the jungle is a beast and its coming for her.
