Some cities stand closer than others to Deliria's wake. In San Keros, Green Girls walk the streets and flowers bloom at their footstep. Shape-changers prowl misty alleys, searching for prey and salvation. Shadows are given life and identity is questioned by balloons. But not all the blessings of Deliria are bright, and with the arrival of three Strangers in town, the Mysterium learns that for their bounty of dreams there is a terrible price.
Months after the events of Scions, those who witnessed the events that night are once again brought together...but this time it is the secrets that they keep themselves, not ancient prophecy, that begins to undo the fragile balance of the Mysterium. Can they come to terms with themselves, and each other, before the Scions come to claim their prize?
Every summer Wicked Jerry's Traveling Show eases back onto the road. Legend has it that the first gig was in '46 in an empty farmer's field somewhere in Pennsylvania. An ex-bomber pilot named Jerry Kendle sunk all the money he'd stashed away while overseas into a Packard and a small Creole band out of Louisiana. All good things end up tainted. A murder, a mystery, and a mandolin all now haunt the fortunes of the show that has rolled into legend.
