Our heroes have met a Sparrow-of-Sparrows on a mountainside in Maximilian Pollard's closet--and they want answers. But before they can investigate this strange world, they've got to deal with their poor pal Snoof, the tiger-man who's feeling a lot more tiger than man these days. Is Snoof still in there? What secrets does this Sparrow of the Sparrows hide? And will they be able to stop whatever ritual has all Maximilian's followers glowing in the town square?
