She has been informed that Jeff may have returned to town after a long absence. When they return to their lodgings, Daniel and Amber receive a phone call from a man named Rodric, who informs them that he is not only the author of the Compendium but a fellow Nostrummer. He also tells them that Jeff was a hollow skin, an entity that exists half way between the human world and the world of the shadows. Once Jeff had been human, but was later corrupted by a shadow and turned into a puppet.

They learn of a young woman named Kristina who went missing several years ago. After visiting Kristina's mother Grace, they gather some clues and manage to stumble across Kristina on the edge of town. Amber is confused by Kristina's appearance and becomes adamant that it is in fact her missing sister Jenny. After more research, Daniel and Amber team up with Rodric and make their way deep into the woods where the Oakwood shadow, a creature named Argus, lives in a mansion with his hollow skin puppets. They fought off the hollow skins, including Kristina, and Amber finally realizes that Argus had been manipulating her thoughts. The three Nostrummer confront Argus in his den and together, they are able to strike him down. Daniel and Amber return to Grace to tell her that Kristina is finally at peace.
