For Victoria, the promise of meeting her father again proves too alluring to resist. But what terrible price must she pay, along with anyone else who makes a pact with Elysian Fields?

It’s fine I guess. But it’s just going over ground from a bunch of big finish audios. Also it ripped off the opening scene from the Doctor Who Fanfic I’m currently writing, not sure how they knew about that…
