In this dramatic conclusion to the Grasslands Trilogy, Corki, Pippa, and all their friends are reunited for a final fight to determine the future of Grassland. After escaping the mountains of Grassland, where Corki and Pippa and their friends were slaves and soldiers, the fugitives finally found a new life, and are seemingly safe at last. But as the former slaves explore new lands to the north, they discover that cruelty and injustice are not only found in Grassland, and that the people they visit may need their help. Grassland, too, may need assistance. When an appeal from an old friend reaches Corki and Pippa in their travels, will they have the courage to do what's right for their old land, despite its cruel history? What will it cost them to change Grassland for the better?

The story is about the torments endured by a prisoner of the Spanish Inquisition, though Poe skews historical facts. The narrator of the story is deemed guilty for an unnamed crime and put into a completely dark room. He passes out while trying to determine the size of the room. When he wakes up, he realizes there is a large, deep pit in the middle of the room. He loses consciousness again and awakens strapped on his back, unable to move more than his head. He soon realizes there is a large blade-like pendulum hanging above him, slowly getting closer to cutting through his chest. He finds a way to escape but the walls of his prison start to move and close in on him, pushing him closer and closer to falling into the pit. "The Pit and the Pendulum" is a short story written by Edgar Allan Poe and first published in 1842.

此后我再也没买过“霓裳”的品牌。最早走进这家专卖店，当时改良中装还没有大行其道，我瞬间就被它的独特吸引。无论窄肩阔裤的性感剪裁，还是大胆挑色，包括珠花绣片的手工缝制，总有细节让我心动。上世纪九十年代，数百元一双的绣花布鞋不算便宜，可我还是忍不住收纳囊中──尽管由于夸张和浮靡，我缺少穿着场合，它终会沦为遗憾中的展示品。还有“霓裳”的手袋和钱包，优雅低调，令我心动。然而，这个牌子突然有一天成为我的禁忌。因为江蓝。因为那是她唯一的华丽。
