   Summary

   Mr. Quinlan finds himself in a most precarious situation. Alone and imprisoned, he is forced to choose between his revenge and his very existence. ℹ️️ This story follows the TV Canon loosely, taking place after A Savage Inconvenience and The Night Eternal. It also uses and expands upon existing Novel/Graphic Novel canon to weave it all together.
