Before the surrounding pandemonium can swallow them whole, they are rescued by a charming ensemble of anarchists calling themselves the Kronos Krewe. Together, they learn more about the war between George Parker and Echo—a war that has been raging since the beginning of time…or perhaps even earlier.
