And of course, Tiger and Luna must return to the real world to avoid getting trapped in the painting before time runs out!

In an abandoned dance studio, there's music and dancing unheard and unseen by anyone. The whispers in the shadows laud praises upon the figure that spins around the room. Nothing moves, and yet everything moves around the room. Darkness and light intertwine and dance to cast the shadows of the world. A dance that goes beyond the borders between the worlds is performed within flickering shadows. The Shadowdancer knows the truth. Without the darkness, there can be no light. Between them lies the shadow in which the Shadowdancer twirls. Enter the world of the Shadowdancer, and find yourself immersed in 150 poems living in the light, the dark, and the shadow.
