Annabelle is gone for good, but something worse lurks just out of sight, preparing to strike. What Olive discovers on a field trip to the local art museum will create a chain of events that propel her to discoveries she may not wish to uncover, involving Morton's vanished parents and the very darkest roots of Aldous McMartin's creepy painted world. Olive must seek the full story of Elsewhere, and in so doing, face her own fears and limitations, and possibly the destruction of Elsewhere itself.
