Los Angeles, California. July of 1990. A young woman, a petty thief, on the run for shooting an "unarmed" man in broad daylight, accidentally finds her way into a flourishing Hallownest. Prequel to Ethnoentomology.

A lone human staggers his way into Hallownest with no recollection of how he got there. Or any recollection of anything, really. With no skills in survival or combat, his only hope is to follow this small Knight creature around until he finds his way home. Or until this alien disease in his head kills him first.
