This story, which is far more character-driven in nature than usual, follows a collection of deformed or abnormal individuals who escape from a sideshow and head off in search of a better life over a long, treacherous journey.
Chronologically, it follows The Fa Ram and is followed by A Gathering Storm.
The events of this unfinished story were considered non-canon until Little Wretch's backstory was directly mentioned in A Gathering Storm, confirming the events to be canon.
