Following the events of volume one we return to a happier time in Hannah's past. Dr. Hannah Curtis is seven years old and loves her father. With her sister away, she goes to bed dreaming of the presents she will open in the morning, little realizing the events about to unfold. But Hannah's resourceful and has help on the inside, and when she discovers what's truly happening, she runs to the only place she's told not to, into the Fracture itself.
