Still reeling from the betrayal that shattered her at Neverthorn, Harlow Daygon is in hiding. Again. Magically disguised and barely holding it together, she and the rest of House Phoenix are masquerading as students at Heathermoor, Neverthorn's mysterious Scottish sister school. But for the first time in a long time... Harlow feels almost at home. Too bad peace never lasts in the Dwimmerworld. The Grym Dunaris is still lost. The Kraken gold has vanished. And Typhon has found her and her friends. And soon they'll see, he's not the only danger hot on their heels.
