Her soul remained suspended between this life and the next for centuries, gradually developing in power and determination to escape, until a couple of young villains come to deface the ruin where she is buried. One of them, unknown, to him, is psychic.
She tricks him and escapes, but a bond remains between them. The boy is struggling to regain control of his body as Ankerita sets off on a series of trials in this strange modern world to which she must adjust, without official identity or support.
Ankerita's journey takes her through long shifts in a cheap hotel, where she meets a disinterested friend and a ghostly, amorous highwayman, through a spell with a debauched heavy metal rock band, and into a desolate house with a group of homeless people. She has a flirtation with an overzealous policeman, and is always on the run from would-be rapists and slavers.
But finally she must face the destiny, this modern day odyssey is drawing her ever towards…
