Kristen meets the incarnations of Death and Science during her final exam for the Hunter's guild and finds herself trying to save Rootworld as Ian Stein and Tess Nikola develop their theories of Relationships and the Magno-electric spectrum.
The final exam for membership into the Hunter's Guild should be a walk in the park for Kristen. But her mentor Alpha failed to mention the heavy weight that membership carries with it. A meeting with The Grim Reaper and the Incarnation of Science, during her expedition, is only a start to the strange history that is Rootworld. If Kristen's strange History lesson teaches her anything, she may pass yet. That is, if she doesn't decide that saving Time and Space is more important. Meanwhile, Ian Stein and Tess Nikola are navigating the halls of the Rootworld academy of the arts and dealing with the growing pains that come with teenage changes, such as, developing their theories of Relationship and the Magno-electric spectrum.
