In Sombre she is Gatherer, Halliday Knight - her complete gunslinging, head-stomping, liquor swilling, magnificent opposite. Aboard her machanihorse, Wilder, she serves Sombre, gathering Nightmarers, the world's troubled sleepers, with her very own breed of unashamed violence, folly and charm.

Parker has been touched by Sombre as well.An unexplained and horrific attack of a male student at Centurion involves Hope, just as a seemingly unstoppable threat comes to Sombre. The same threat invades Hope's waking existence in Pento; signifying the beginning to a wild journey on a road of intertwining realities.
