The Chameleon's Dance

Damien's vital gift to Avery felt like it was burning a hole in her pocket as they fought their way through the megacity's sinister underbelly. Her imagination raced with counter-accusations about what she would find in her train at Blackthorn. Who was she? What did all of this mean?
