Danny has gotten very reluctantly dragged back into the fight against Zadoc by Catherine, a street kid who really wants nothing to do with the sniveling coward.  The only reason Cath is involved at all is because Barshin, a bunny-like creature from the Chromos has shown her the possibilities of that world of imagination.
