Publisher's summary

The Doctor, Liv and Helen have landed near an abbey housing the gateway to the dimension in which the Ravenous were originally imprisoned.

Notes

Continuity

• The Doctor finds the monastery based on information discovered by the Eleven in the L.E.G.E.N.D. database. (AUDIO: L.E.G.E.N.D.)
• The Nine created a prison. (AUDIO: Companion Piece)
• When the Eleven is feeling his history being rewritten, the Eighth Doctor reassures him that he went through that before. (TV: The Five Doctors, PROSE: Interference - Book Two)
• The Eleven can’t remember what he did as the Nine that led to their encounter, and mentions that this is a side effect of crossing one’s own time stream. The Doctor has experienced this many times (TV: The Day of the Doctor, Twice Upon a Time) as did Missy. (TV: The Doctor Falls)
