After leaving Harmony, Jacob follows the trail to find Delaney Carrow, a girl presumed dead.

Xander initially gives Jacob a hard time, but as the weeks pass, he warms to her, calling her "Blinder."

Jacob then proceeds to ask the ghostbox where the other escaped Seers might be and discovers from the machine that they could be on the colony of Tieresias.

According to Kirkus Reviews, the novel's overlay "between metaphorical and genuine blindness is so heavy-handed as to lead to occasional inappropriate linkages between the two.

Luckily, it’s only blindness that Stahler handles ham-handedly, and this volume of Jacob’s trilogy focuses on non–vision-related themes.
