- Synopsis
- A female writer publishes stories about her sword-wielding alter ego, Allysa (the Untamed), who travels with the Avatar, Gabri-el, and hunts and kills Baal's soldiers to protect the Seraphim, Caige, turned to stone by the Old Gods. A personal journal entry reveals that Baal (stalker of the female writer), editor of fanzine Dark Sanctum, is the person to whom she has been submitting these stories. Once Baal locates the writer, he finds out she works at Burger Shack and gets a job there to get close to her.
