== Publisher's summary ==
In ancient Akrotiri, a young girl is learning mysteries from a tutor who, quite literally, fell from the skies. With his encouragement, she can fly and surf the timestreams and see something of the future. But then the demons come. Death and disaster are meted out by the gods of her land. Perhaps retribution for some heinous crime... or something far more sinister?

== Continuity ==
* The Doctor makes reference to an "angel full of compassion" who saved him once. This could be interpreted as being his former companion Compassion, placing this story after PROSE The Burning. However given that he appears to have a full memory, it's also after PROSE: The Gallifrey Chronicles. However the language he uses implies his fractured memories are still in place (referring to her as "an angel" and that everything is new to him). He also stresses having only one heart. (PROSE: The Adventuress of Henrietta Street)
* The Doctor asks Alcestis if she thinks he is half-human on his Mother's side. (TV: Doctor Who)
